The Economy

Question period focused on the economy and affordability. The Conservatives raised a new Food Banks Canada report showing food bank visits up 9% since the Prime Minister took office, with 2.35 million visits in one month, and asked why the government voted against a motion recognizing an affordability crisis. Liberals replied that the government has delivered concrete help—dental care, child care, the national school food program, the groceries and essentials benefit, a GST cut on new homes and a fuel tax cut—and said the Conservatives voted against these measures. The exchange remained centered on this back-and-forth over affordability and voting records.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
