The Economy

During question period on the economy, Conservative member Gabriel Hardy raised the rising cost of diesel for farmers, saying it drives up grocery prices, and asked the government to cut diesel taxes. He also criticized government deficits and cheques as adding to the debt, and said Liberal rules and taxes were blocking major oil projects, asking Liberals to vote with the Conservatives on a motion the next day so major projects could proceed. Liberal minister Rachel Bendayan responded that 12 million Canadians received the Canada groceries and essentials benefit payment, about $1,900 for a family of four over a year, and pointed to jobs, wages, and business investment growth. She said the Conservatives vote against the government’s affordability bills despite talking about these issues, and that they should support those bills instead.Written by AI from the debate.
