Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland to include in her upcoming fall economic statement a plan to stop the federal government’s upcoming tax increases and to offset any new spending with “equivalent saving.”

“The bubble is finally bursting and the bill is finally coming due,” Poilievre wrote in an open letter to Freeland on Oct. 30.
