Adjournment Proceedings

An adjournment debate on employment insurance premiums and payroll taxes. Garnett Genuis of the Conservatives argued payroll taxes make hiring more expensive, especially for young workers, and asked the government to commit not to raise them to pay for its budget. Maggie Chi of the Liberals offered condolences for four Canadian Armed Forces members who died at CFB Wainwright, then said the government is managing spending responsibly, cutting operating costs and consulting, with the operating budget to be balanced in 2027-28 and Canada holding the lowest net debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7. Genuis objected that the reply came from a different minister and did not address payroll taxes; Chi repeated the government’s fiscal plan and noted Genuis had left the room.Written by AI from the debate.
