Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre accused the Liberals of waging a “war on work” and urged him to reduce taxes just a day before the Liberal cabinet is set to table the next budget.

“After eight years of this prime minister and his various taxes and penalties, there’s a war on work. A worker might lose up to 48 cents out of every dollar they earn. You work hard, and then you’re punished,” Poilievre said during question period on Monday.
