Mark Carney addresses Liberal convention

Carney used the platform to defend his government's decision to radically cut migration levels, which he credited for a recent drop in national housing costs.

The Prime Minister also addressed the ongoing trade tensions with the United States, particularly over a new wave of tariffs on Canadian imports.

During the convention, federal Liberals adopted a motion to set 16 as the minimum age for social media use, a move aimed at protecting youth mental health.

Despite internal party optimism, Carney faces scrutiny over taxpayer spending on his official travel during his first year in office.
