Making Life More Affordable for Canadians Act Second reading of Bill C-4. The bill, An Act respecting certain affordability measures for Canadians and another measure, aims to implement a tax cut for 22 million Canadians, eliminate the GST for first-time homebuyers on new homes up to $1 million, and remove the consumer carbon price from law. Liberals argue these measures deliver on election promises to make life more affordable. Conservatives call it "half measures" insufficient to address the cost of living crisis and rising unemployment, criticizing the continued industrial carbon tax. The Bloc Québécois questions the lack of a budget and argues Quebec was unfairly excluded from carbon tax rebates. 27100 words, 3 hours in 2 segments: 1 2.

Question Period

The Conservatives highlight rising unemployment, especially for youth, and the increased cost of living driving Canadians to food banks, blaming Liberal policies and spending. They repeatedly demand the government table a budget. They also criticize the Liberals on issues including rising crime and bail policies, and the energy sector.

The Liberals focus on tabling new legislation later today to build Canada strong, address trade challenges, and make Canada the strongest economy in the G7. They defend their record on affordability through tax cuts and social programs, discuss housing initiatives, and commit to bail reform.

The Bloc criticizes the Liberal government for failing to support Quebec industries facing US trade tariffs (aluminum, steel, lumber). They also condemn the federal government for spending public money to fight Bill 21 in court, seeing it as an attack on Quebec's jurisdiction.

The NDP highlights challenges for the BC forestry sector, promoting biomass energy, and addressing child poverty and food security in Nunavut.
