Liberals accuse Tories of ‘hijacking’ Parliament after threatening to filibuster
OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is threatening to use procedural tools to delay passage of the federal budget in the House of Commons if the Liberals don't meet his demands."We will continue to work through their juvenile tactics. They can ride tricycles, through Parliament if they want to. But we will get the work of Parliament done," Holland told reporters Monday.
Poilievre argued that by reducing spending, the federal government could make the Bank of Canada's job of fighting inflation easier. And in turn, that would allow the Bank of Canada to cut interest rates sooner, he said. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also played down the threat made by Poilievre."The Conservative leader has no plan for the economy, proposes nothing but cuts."
