The Economy

During the final question period of the session, question period exchanges on the economy focused on the cost of living and the state of the economy. The Conservatives asked repeatedly why groceries, gas, housing and mortgage costs remain high, why the deficit has doubled, why Canada is in a recession and business investment has fallen, and when life will become affordable again; they also noted the Prime Minister was not present to answer. The Liberals responded that the session was productive, with 21 bills passed including criminal justice reforms and affordability measures, that Canada is among the fastest-growing economies in the G7 with strong business investment, and that the Prime Minister brought back trade deals worth $5 billion from the G7 summit; they also noted several Conservative premiers are working with the government. Some time went to summer wishes and comments about the session’s end.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
