The Economy
In a debate on the economy, the Conservatives pressed the government on the rising cost of living and food insecurity impacting many Canadians. The Liberals highlighted their recently announced national food security strategy, which includes investments in food infrastructure, processing more food domestically, and support for low-income families. The debate focused on the affordability challenges faced by Canadians and the government's plans to address the issue.
“I have good news. The Prime Minister said he wants to help Canadians afford food. The government will spend more money. That will fix it.”
“I am trying to blame you for people struggling. Your plan won't help enough. Your spending caused the problem.”
“That program will be very good. The government should spend money on it. Then Canadians can buy our processed food instead of importing it. The taxpayers' money will give them cheaper groceries.”
