The Budget
During Question Period on the budget, Conservatives said the government’s spending plan will add large deficits and debt, arguing that Canada had a balanced budget and lower federal debt in 2015 and asking when the deficit spending will end. Liberals responded that the economy is performing well, citing job growth in Alberta, low debt-servicing costs by international standards, and a deficit they described as the second lowest in the G7, with financial targets to be met a year early. A Liberal member also highlighted budget funding to end homelessness, including among veterans, and asked for the budget’s passage.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
