Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has spent the summer speaking about housing affordability, a core focus that attendees at the party's Quebec City convention were quick to praise him for.The resolution aimed to update the party's existing housing and homelessness policy to say the party would encourage banks to consider a potential homebuyer's past rental payment history when applying for a mortgage.
Policies that did make it for a final vote and were passed with a majority included affirming the right to refuse vaccines or employment training for ideological reasons, tax breaks on maternity essentials, and a repositioning of the party's environmental principles.But the pair of proposals that prompted the most political chatter in the lead-up to and during the convention may prove to be the first real test of the party's cohesion under Poilievre’s leadership.
