The Economy
Question period focused on the state of the Canadian economy, with Conservative members repeatedly asking whether the Prime Minister would acknowledge that Canada is in a recession, pointing to two straight quarters of economic shrinkage, weak productivity, rising borrowing, and forecasts from the Parliamentary Budget Officer and banks. Liberal ministers replied that the economy faces headwinds from U.S. tariffs but pointed to job growth, wages rising faster than inflation, falling rents, and government investments in housing, harbours, community infrastructure, trades training, and supports for affordability, and invited the opposition to support those measures. No new motions were introduced; the exchange stayed on these competing descriptions of the economy.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
