The Economy
Question period focused on the economy and the cost of living. Conservatives said Canada is the only G20 country in a recession, blamed Liberal spending, taxes and antidevelopment policies for the recession, high food and housing costs, food bank use, and Saskatchewan job losses, and asked the government to reverse those policies. Liberals replied that the economy is doing better than expected, with a smaller deficit, 164,000 new jobs since September, recovering job losses from the US trade war, and wages growing faster than inflation. Some exchanges turned to other matters, including a Liberal claim that Conservatives were delaying a workers’ support bill and duelling accusations about leadership expenses on both sides.Written by AI from the debate.
