Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has released his party’s demands ahead of the April 16 federal budget announcement, asking for the abolition of the carbon tax, the adoption of a Tory motion on housing, and a cap on government spending.

“These are common sense demands, and if we don’t get them we won’t support the budget,” Mr. Poilievre said during a press conference on April 7.
