Debates (Hansard) No. 139 - June 18, 2026 (45-1) - House of Commons of Canada
Question Period centred on the economy, housing, and affordability, with Conservatives pressing the government on the cost of living, housing costs, and economic management. Liberals defended recent fiscal measures and argued global shocks, not only domestic policy, are driving pressure on households. The Bloc Québécois raised government priorities and housing-related concerns. The NDP focused on Indigenous funding and reconciliation-related issues. The exchange was adversarial, with parties framing the same affordability and public service questions very differently.
