QUESTION PERIOD — Finance

Cost of Living

Hon. Salma Ataullahjan [ + ]

Senator Moreau, while your government subsidizes European television and adds $10 million to the national debt every hour, Canadians are struggling. Food bank usage is at an all-time high, youth unemployment has surged, and home ownership has become a distant dream for most families.

Leader, has the Liberal government simply abandoned the promises it made to Canadians six months ago, or were those promises never meant to be kept in the first place?

Good question.

Hon. Pierre Moreau (Government Representative in the Senate) [ + ]

Senator, when the government has a plan to build the strongest economy in the G7, including by investing in productivity, innovation and bringing more Canadians into the workforce, it keeps its promises, which are to grow the economy, to provide good jobs for Canadians, to secure families, to invest in housing, to invest in our future and to invest in our youth. I think the Canadian government has delivered with the 2025-26 Budget.
