The Budget
Question period on the federal budget tabled the previous day. Conservatives said the government has run larger deficits than it promised for years, adding hundreds of billions to the national debt, with interest costs now growing fastest and a new deficit of about $62 billion; they called on the government to cut spending and asked how Canadians could trust the finance minister. Liberals said debt costs are low by historical comparison, and that the deficit, rents and housing prices are down while the economy is growing; they described budget measures supporting small businesses through tax deductions and urged other parties to support the budget.Written by AI from the debate.
