Employment

In Question Period on employment, the Conservatives pointed to recent job losses reported by Statistics Canada, citing roughly 70,000 jobs lost in September and 42,000 in August, a rising unemployment rate described as the second highest in the G7, declining real wages, and asked whether the Prime Minister takes responsibility. The government said it is helping Canadians with the cost of living through tax cuts and affordability measures such as a groceries and essentials benefit, home repair help, and school food funding, and said that in a challenging trade war it is building major projects, including small modular reactors at Darlington, to create jobs, and asked the Conservatives to support that plan.Written by AI from the debate.
