A day after leading a four-hour filibuster to delay a vote on the Liberal government’s 2023 budget bill, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to cancel his summer vacation in order to work on rewriting the legislation.

“I’m calling on [Trudeau] to do the honourable thing. To put aside his pride and his personal ego and cancel this budget. He should also cancel his summer vacation,” Poilievre told reporters during a press conference in Ottawa on June 8.
