The Conservatives criticize the Liberal government's bail laws, attributing a bloodbath of crime and 1,600 daily violent crimes to them, and urge support for their "jail not bail" bill, endorsed by police associations. They also attack the Prime Minister's failed trade diplomacy, noting doubled U.S. tariffs on steel, aluminum, autos, and softwood lumber, leading to 86,000 job losses and Canada's fastest-shrinking economy.
The Liberals defend their upcoming tough-on-crime bail and sentencing reforms and promote Bill C-2 for stronger borders. They highlight the Prime Minister's U.S. visit to protect Canadian jobs and industries from tariffs on steel, aluminum, and auto, emphasizing generational economic investments and fiscal strength.
The Bloc criticizes the Prime Minister's U.S. visit for trade concessions without securing gains for Quebec's lumber and aluminum sectors or releasing forestry aid. They also raise concerns about the dangerous "Driver Inc." scam and blame the government for the worsening Canada Post crisis due to ministerial interference.
The NDP advocates for upholding Indigenous rights and a BC tanker moratorium, opposing crude oil projects in the Great Bear Rainforest.
