Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre vowed while addressing his party’s caucus that he will keep delaying the federal government’s omnibus budget bill from passing in the House of Commons until cabinet introduces a plan to cut deficits and bring down inflation.

“Today I am announcing that I will be on my feet at roughly 7 p.m. to stand up against this budget,” Poilievre told the Conservative Party caucus during an address in Ottawa on June 7.
