The Economy

During Question Period on the economy, the Conservative leader asked why, despite the Prime Minister’s statement that affordability is the best it has been in a decade, constituents are struggling: a woman cutting back cancer treatments to work, a family stretched by an $879,000 mortgage, and a rising number of children using food banks. He argued government spending funds bureaucracy rather than helping people and asked the Prime Minister to explain affordability to these individuals directly. Liberal members replied by pointing to programs such as dental care, child care, and the national school food program, which they said reaches most public schools and has served millions of meals, and noted the Conservative leader has voted against these measures. A Liberal member also criticized the Conservative leader’s record in Parliament while citing GDP growth and investment figures.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
