During Thursday's session of question period in the House of Commons in Ottawa, Conservative MP Jasraj Singh Hallan grilled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about government spending amid levels of high inflation in Canada.

Trudeau retorted that his government's spending is necessary to assist Canadians struggling with finances, even though Hallan argued that those measures, along with the cost of necessities, are costing Canadians too much.

Plus, Liberals were also asked about an investigation by the Department of National Defence (DND), which looked into contracts previously awarded to a firm that now has reported ties to the Chinese government, as concerns of foreign interference in Canada grow.

Liberal MP Pam Damoff said as soon as this information came to light, the contract was terminated.

Ontario-based Sinclair Technologies, which designs and manufactures communications equipment, was given contracts for DND work between 2009 and 2013. The 12 contracts, worth $252,296 in total, were for work on “antennas, waveguides and related equipment,” procurement data shows.
