The Economy

During question period on the economy, the Conservative leader said Canadians are running out of money, citing a report that many people are close to being unable to pay their bills, and said high diesel and fuel costs are raising food prices; he asked the Prime Minister to support the Conservative plan to remove taxes from diesel, produce more fuel in Canada, and build an oil reserve. Liberal ministers replied with measures they said help with costs, including an extended child care agreement with Ontario keeping fees at an average of $19 a day, coordinated action with allies they said lowered diesel prices by 6% in three days, rising Canadian diesel production, and energy projects creating jobs; one minister said the Conservative leader had voted against dental care and child benefits for people in his riding.Written by AI from the debate.
