The Economy

Question period focused on the rising cost of living. The Conservatives pointed to record food bank use—including many employed people—and rising food and fuel prices, asking when the government would support their proposal to cut the diesel tax. The government said it understands costs are high and pointed to measures such as the Canada groceries and essentials benefit, and said the Conservatives had not supported votes to help Canadians.Written by AI from the debate.
