Poilievre calls for spending cap, tax cuts in coming federal budget
The coming federal budget should lower taxes, cap spending and make it easier to build new houses, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Sunday as he pinned blame for current economic woes on the Liberals.
Poilievre’s criticism comes as the Bank of Canada relies on interest rate increases to tame high inflation spurred in part by global trends, and the economy heads toward a slowdown and possible recession. The document is also expected to account for billions in new spending on health care that will flow through bilateral deals with the provinces.
“The people who do the nation’s work are punished more and more each day in this country,” Poilievre said. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is holding economic roundtables with prominent economists ahead of the budget as well as meeting workers and families to learn what would help them most.
