Adjournment Proceedings

In an adjournment debate, Warren Steinley (Conservative) followed up on a question about grocery prices and the rise in shoplifting of food, asking whether prices had gone up or down over the last three years and saying people are struggling to afford food. Ryan Turnbull (Liberal) replied that groceries are still expensive but that the government’s programs — child care, dental care, school food, and tax measures — save families money, and said the member had voted against them. Steinley said the reply did not answer the question and argued that many parents in Saskatchewan cannot get subsidized child care spots and that those who do still pay extra fees. Turnbull responded that provinces, including Saskatchewan, should be held to the child care agreements they signed, saying federal money is expanding spaces and that child care in his riding had cut costs substantially for families with a spot.Written by AI from the debate.
