Synopsis
On the Show: Bill Morneau, Lisa Raitt, Guy Caron, Althia Raj, Tom Parkin, Michele Austin, Susan Smith With slow growth, the price of oil hitting a 10-year low of $38 a barrel, a commodity price meltdown, a growing trade deficit and bad job numbers, Finance Minister Bill Morneau is having a hard time balancing the spending promises with the new fiscal reality. Conservative finance critic Lisa Raitt and NDP finance critic Guy Caron debate how to best tax Canadians and manage the economy through the challenging economic times. Huffington Post Ottawa Bureau Chief Althia Raj says the Liberals have agenda overload and Canadians expect them to get things done fast. The War Room with national columnist for Sun Media Tom Parkin, Summa Strategies' Michele Austin and Susan Smith of Bluesky Strategy Group debate tax cuts for the middle class, budgetary deficits, the combat mission in Iraq and Syria and the first Question Period on the House.
