Finance

During question period on finance, the Conservatives cited a new report from the Parliamentary Budget Officer, saying it shows the debt-to-GDP and deficit-to-GDP ratios rising despite government promises to lower them, and asked the government to acknowledge an affordability crisis marked by record food bank use and high grocery and rent costs. The government pointed to an upcoming budget on November 5, saying it will aim to attract investment, create jobs and make life more affordable, and responded to the criticisms by citing Canada’s fiscal position—low net debt and deficit relative to GDP and a AAA credit rating. Liberals also said Conservatives had voted against Manitoba projects, including aerospace jobs, supports for farmers, and internet access for northern residents, and highlighted the Canada child benefit, which they said goes to 3.5 million families.Written by AI from the debate.
