Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre says his rule preventing potential ministers from having links to the World Economic Forum (WEF) also applies to party staff and advisors.

“No staff, no ministers, no MPs in my caucus will be involved whatsoever in that organization,” Mr. Poilievre said on Jan. 22 after being asked by media to clarify if the ban was broader than potential ministers.
