The Economy
Question period focused on the state of the Canadian economy. Conservative members, led by Pierre Poilievre, said Canada is in a recession, citing the Bank of Canada governor’s description of a soft economy, rising prices, job losses and people struggling to pay bills or keep their homes, and asked the Prime Minister to change the policies they said caused it. Liberal ministers replied with growth figures from the OECD showing Canada outpacing other G7 countries, said the Bank of Canada views the economy as resilient despite tariffs and wars abroad, and pointed to recent job gains and a trade surplus. Liberals also said the government is working with premiers on major energy projects and on responding to the trade war.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
