Poilievre To Force No Confidence Vote In Trudeau Over Looming Carbon Tax Increase
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre wants to bring down the government this week if it refuses to cancel the $15 per tonne planned carbon tax increase set to happen on April 1.
“Today, I’m announcing that I’m giving Trudeau one last chance to spike his hike. One last chance, and only one more day,” Poilievre said in a speech to his caucus on Wednesday. [emphasis, links added]
“I’m announcing that if Trudeau does not declare today an end to his forthcoming tax increases on food, gas, and heat, that we will introduce a motion of non-confidence in the prime minister,” he said.
That motion is meant to ask MPs to vote on whether they have confidence in the current government.
