Some Conservative MPs are frustrated after their leader, Pierre Poilievre, barred them from promoting a federal housing fund in their constituencies, sources told Radio-Canada.
Poilievre has vowed to end the program to help finance his campaign promise to abolish the GST on sales of new homes under $1 million. He has instructed his MPs not to promote the fund. "When the Liberal government announced this program, they promised it would build homes. Now we know that was a lie," the release said. "Those who engaged the Liberal government did so because Trudeau and Fraser lied to municipalities by telling them it builds houses.
"I have nothing to add. The letter speaks for itself," Barrett said. He did not say whether he agreed with Poilievre's order or whether he was consulted before the letter was made public."This is no time to play politics with housing," one Conservative source said. "Cities are entitled to their fair share of the pie, even if it comes from the Liberal government.""I hope we'll abolish the GST and eliminate administrative waste," one source said.
