The Debate: Gift limits for MPs, Canada’s fertility rate and Gen Z’s work ethic.

The Debate with Mike Le Couteur

01-02-2024 • 39 mins

In this episode Sabrina Nanji and Samantha Kemp-Jackson debate:

  • The interim ethics commissioner said PM Trudeau's Jamaican vacation was 'clearly a generous gift,' but not against the rules. There remain questions about what's considered an acceptable gift from friends. Should there be a limit on the value of gifts MPs can receive?
  • Canada's fertility rate has hit an all-time low, at 1.33 children per woman. While our country has no policy to raise fertility rates, other counties do. Should Canada offer incentives to have children?
  • A TikToker is facing backlash for scolding a Gen Z employee who skipped an early work meeting for their workout class. The debate is pitting 'work/life balance' against 'working harder to get ahead.’ Should employees be willing to come in outside of work hours?
