The Economy

Question period focused on the economy. Conservatives said Liberal policies are raising costs for businesses and workers, that tariffs and high prices are hurting industries and driving investment away, and they urged the government to adopt their plan to end the carbon tax on business, cut consulting and subsidy spending, and approve major projects faster. Liberals pointed to a new business tax deduction, described as the most significant tax change in decades and intended to give Canada the lowest taxes on new investment among G7 countries, and cited specific projects such as Pickering, Darlington, the Port of Montreal, and BHP Jansen that they said are creating tens of thousands of jobs. They also said Conservatives will have chances this session to vote in support of Canadian industry, workers, and regulatory reform.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
