Finance

Question period on federal finances. Conservative members said the government will not meet its own fiscal targets, citing the Parliamentary Budget Officer, and raised concerns about deficits, debt held in Crown corporations, and rising interest costs, which they said would fall on younger generations; they asked how the debt would be repaid. Liberal ministers responded that the government has an economic plan, pointing to investment, foreign investment levels, exports, tax cuts for 22 million Canadians, and the national groceries and essentials benefit; one minister also criticized the Opposition leader’s record.Written by AI from the debate.
