Finance
During question period on finance, the Conservatives argued that the Bank of Canada’s interest rate increase shows government borrowing and spending are driving inflation, noting that debt interest now costs more than health care or defence, and asking the government to commit to lowering the deficit and cutting spending in the upcoming budget. The Liberals responded that their programs—such as a grocery benefit paid to 12 million Canadians, tax cuts, defence investment, and new trade deals—are supports for people facing cost pressures, and questioned how the opposition’s proposed cuts would be paid for.Written by AI from the debate.
