The Conservatives are calling for an emergency debate in Parliament over Canada’s economic outlook after the country entered a technical recession in the first quarter of 2026.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre sent a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney on May 31, urging the prime minister to appear before Parliament and outline his government’s plan to address the economy’s decline.
