Affordability

During Members’ Statements, the topic of affordability was raised. Andrew Lawton, a Conservative member, said life is not affordable for Canadians, citing a Royal Bank of Canada survey finding that more than half of parents with adult children aged 18 to 40 provided them financial support. He said seniors in his riding skip meals because food costs too much, and he invited the Prime Minister to tell those seniors himself that things are affordable. This was a single member’s statement; no other parties spoke on the topic in the sampled material.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
