The Economy
During question period on the economy, Conservative members said affordability is worsening, citing figures that half of working Canadians spend their entire pay or take on debt, a lowered OECD growth forecast for Canada, and rising grocery costs in members’ own ridings. They argued government programs have not produced results, that major trade and energy projects are years away while a trade war is under way, and asked the government to adopt the Conservative economic plan, including permanently ending fuel taxes. Liberal ministers replied that the government is acting on affordability through an affordable housing plan, a grocery benefit helping millions of families, and the paused fuel tax, and they pointed to job numbers, projected G7 growth, and construction projects now underway. Liberals also noted Conservatives voted against programs such as the Canada child benefit, school food, and disability benefits.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
