Following the delivery of the speech from the throne by King Charles, the leaders of the Conservatives, New Democrats, and Bloc Québécois criticized aspects of the Liberal government’s agenda for the upcoming parliamentary session.
“We were looking for that promise and that hope in the speech today. We did see a lot of the right slogans and political talking points, but no clear plans to get it done,” Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said following the throne speech on May 27.
