Federal Conservative leadership candidate talks policy with Glacier Media.
Ontario MP Pierre Poilievre has kept a firm grip on his frontrunner status throughout the federal Conservative leadership campaign. Known for his sharp attacks against political opponents, the 43-year-old may find himself leader of the Opposition early next month.
“We need to reform our business taxes to incentivize reinvestment, building factories, buying machinery, patenting new technology,” Poilievre said. A Poilievre-led government would link federal infrastructure dollars that cities such as Vancouver receive to the number of homes completed within their respective borders.
Poilievre said he prefers the Express Entry model geared towards skilled workers but that it should be expanded it to a broader range of occupations. Energy policy Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has imposed a “top-down, Ottawa-knows-best” approach towards major energy projects, according to Poilievre.
