Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has sent a letter to the prime minister ahead of the upcoming federal budget release, requesting the government reduce taxes on food, homes, and energy, while keeping the deficit under $42 billion.
Poilievre called on Prime Minister Mark Carney in the Oct. 20 letter to use the upcoming budget, set to be tabled on Nov. 4, to “restore Canada’s promise that hard work is rewarded, food and homes are affordable, streets are safe and our economy is self-reliant.”
