Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservative Party, has stated that his party will vote against the Liberal government's bill to offer a two-month GST tax break during the holiday season, citing concerns over increased inflation and living costs.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has announced that his party will vote against Liberal legislation aimed at removing GST from a variety of items during the holiday season . The government introduced the bill in the House of Commons on Wednesday, and it is expected to be debated today.
The legislation provides a two-month tax break on over 30 items commonly purchased during the holiday period, such as children's clothing, toys, video games, consoles, Christmas trees, restaurant meals, wine, beer, candy, and snacks. Poilievre opposes the bill, claiming it will cause inflation and increase the cost of living. The NDP has agreed to support the bill only after the Liberals separated the GST break from a commitment to send $250 to most working Canadians in the spring. The NDP insists on expanding this benefit to non-working seniors and individuals with disabilities who lack employment income
