Five policy questions Tory leadership front-runner Pierre Poilievre hasn’t answered
As the race winds down, and with many expecting the veteran Conservative MP to be named the party’s next leader, here’s a look at some of the pressing questions Poilievre hasn’t yet answered — and is likely to face in the next general election.Poilievre hasn’t said whether he will commit to Canada’s goal, enshrined in law, of reaching net-zero emissions by mid-century. He also hasn’t stated how much greenhouse gas pollution he believes the country should cut by the end of the decade.
Poilievre has suggested he would rely on technology to reduce emissions but he hasn’t elaborated on what that means. Poilievre hasn’t said how he would answer that request or detailed what he would do to help reduce the long wait times plaguing Canadians’ access to procedures and services. “Why should Justin Trudeau get to force parents to pay through taxes for his government daycare scheme, instead of letting them choose what’s best for their own kids?” he tweeted in late 2020.Rod Giltaca, the CEO and executive director of the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights, says Poilievre’s platform on firearms “is quite vague,” leaving the group unsure whether he’s committed to repealing a Liberal government order from 2020 that bans some 1,500 firearm models, including the AR-15.
