Pierre Poilievre pushed for cancellations of the Liberals’ carbon tax increases and Canada Pension Plan contribution hikes today during his first House of Commons question period as leader of the Conservative party.

“Housing prices have doubled. Grocery prices are at their highest inflation rate in 40 years. Canadians just aren’t able to pay. Will the Prime Minister cancel these tax increases on seniors and workers?” said Poilievre on Sept. 20.
