L'Essentiel with Esther Bégin
Federal Election: Day 21 of the Campaign – October 1, 2019
Canada's aid to foreign countries was on the menu today. Andrew Scheer promised to reduce this aid by 25 per cent if he's elected, a promise that made his opponents react. Meanwhile, Justin Trudeau is still talking about gun control, Jagmeet Singh is reiterating his promises for child care and Elizabeth May wants to make post-secondary education free. Esther Bégin sits with Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux to discuss how leaders are putting a cost on their promises. Also on the show: Michel Leblanc, president and chief executive officer of the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal, and Francine Pelletier, columnist for Le Devoir.
