Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is criticizing the Liberal government for not committing to the delivery of a budget this year, saying the move could spook investors and send a negative message to credit rating agencies.

“It will send a bad signal to investors and ratings agencies, and a lot of people will wonder what the Liberal government is hiding about our finances,” Poilievre told reporters on Parliament Hill on May 15.
