The Economy

In question period on the economy, Conservatives said Canada is in a recession, pointing to high housing and food costs, record food bank use, and Quebec businesses cancelling investments or moving to the United States, and asked the Prime Minister to change his policies. Liberals replied that the Prime Minister returned from the G7 with 13 new agreements worth over $5 billion in investments, including from seven countries, and pointed to G7-leading growth, exports, foreign investment, and Quebec’s aerospace sector. Liberals also highlighted their child care savings, while Conservatives questioned government spending and the timeline of grocery pricing legislation. Most exchanges stayed on these competing claims about the economy’s direction.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
