Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is vowing to implement a “Taxpayer Protection Act” that would ban introducing new taxes or hiking existing ones save for a referendum.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is vowing to implement a “Taxpayer Protection Act” that would ban introducing new taxes or hiking existing ones save for a referendum.
“This is my plan for change,” Poilievre told supporters Tuesday in Vaughan, Ont.
However, such legislation could be repealed by a future government.
The Conservatives’ platform, unveiled earlier this week, also announced $34 billion in new spending while making $75 billion in tax cuts over the next four years, which it says will bolster economic growth.
