Employment
Question period focused on new job numbers showing about 68,000 jobs lost in September and 110,000 over two months, with unemployment at 6.5% and high youth unemployment. Conservatives said Liberal policies are costing Canadians their jobs, pointed to losses in Quebec and struggles of young workers, and urged the government to adopt their plan. Liberals attributed the weak numbers to a trade war and global volatility, and highlighted their own measures: tax cuts, trade agreements, spending cuts, training for skilled trade workers, housing construction, and projects like Churchill Falls, noting Conservatives voted against some of these measures.Written by AI from the debate.
