Pierre Poilievre on Fall Economic Statement Demands, Israel-Hamas War

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre holds a news conference in Cambridge, Ont., to outline his party’s three demands for the government’s upcoming fall economic statement. He is calling on the government to cancel a planned increase to the carbon price, to bring down interest rates and inflation by balancing the budget, and to adopt the Conservative leader’s housing plan.

Poilievre faces questions from reporters on issues including the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, and the Federal Court ruling on the government’s decision to ban single-use plastic. (November 17, 2023)
