The Economy
A debate on the economy where the Liberals mainly talked about their plans to make life more affordable and a new grocery benefit they recently rolled out. The discussion focused on government support programs rather than fundamental economic issues or reforms.
“The government gave millions of people an extra benefit to help buy groceries. This program will continue to cost a lot of money. I think this is good news. I also want to say the economy created many new jobs.”
