Mark Carney's Liberal convention speech

Mark Carney's Liberal convention speech

The prime minister's speech focused on navigating global adversity and maintaining economic stability amid the ongoing war in the Middle East.

However, the convention was overshadowed by reports that Carney spent over $500,000 of taxpayer money on plane food during his first year in office.

Opposition leaders have seized on the data to criticize the government's spending priorities.

Despite the controversy, the Liberal party adopted several new motions, including a proposal to ban children under 16 from using social media.
