Finance

In question period on finance, the Conservatives raised an Auditor General report saying FINTRAC has not effectively overseen compliance with Canada’s anti-money-laundering rules, and argued the government missed its 2021 promise to create a financial crimes agency and delayed sharing financial information with police. The Liberals pointed to work on a national anti-fraud strategy, added RCMP resources, and the proposed Financial Crimes Agency, asking the Conservatives to support the bill. Most of the remaining exchanges were about the economy: Conservatives cited rising inflation, interest rates, unemployment, and deficit spending, asking when the government would stop running deficits and for the data behind claims about the school food program. Liberals pointed to tax cuts, affordability benefits, federal investments including in Saskatchewan, Canada’s AAA credit rating, and said inflation is driven by the war in the Middle East.Written by AI from the debate.
