Adjournment Proceedings

In adjournment proceedings, a Conservative member asked whether the government will balance the budget by 2028-29, citing the Parliamentary Budget Officer’s projection that the date will slip and questioning the practice of separating operating and capital spending. A Liberal member defended the budgeting framework as sound fiscal planning, pointed to economic growth and wage gains, and said the government plans to balance day-to-day spending while cutting spending over five years. The Conservative member pressed again on who was right, the PBO or the Prime Minister; the Liberal member said the PBO does not have the government’s latest numbers and pointed to the upcoming fall budget.Written by AI from the debate.
