Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is campaigning in British Columbia, promising to reverse a planned capital gains tax hike and reduce the federal public service. He also stated that he does not mind if public servants work from home as long as they complete their tasks. Poilievre's campaign stops are seen as an attempt to gain seats in the province.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has been making campaign-style stops in British Columbia (B.C.) ahead of the expected federal election campaign. He has been promising to reverse the planned capital gains tax hike and is hoping to pick up seats in the province where he is expected to spend a lot of time. Poilievre also stated that a government led by him would reduce the number of federal public servants, but he doesn't mind if they work from home.
When questioned by Radio-Canada on Tuesday about whether U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order requiring federal workers to return to the office five days a week is a good idea, Poilievre emphasized that the crucial factor is whether public servants complete their work. He advocated for public servants to be assigned clear tasks and monitored to ensure they are fulfilling their duties. Poilievre further argued that Canada has too many bureaucrats and would cut the federal public service.
