New Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre had his first opportunity in this year’s fall sitting of Parliament to spar with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during question period in the House of Commons on Sept. 22, where he told the prime minister to “ground the jet” and cancel planned tax hikes.
“It’s good to see the prime minister here visiting Canada to fill up the gas in his private jet, but things are bad on the ground in Canada,” said Poilievre. “Will the prime minister cancel the tax increases on gas, heating, food, and paycheques?”
