Canada First Economic Action Plan

Mark Carney has no plan to rebuild Canada and the Canadian economy. A resume is not a plan.

Pierre Poilievre unveiled his new ‘Canada First Economic Action Plan’ with the realistic goal of boosting Canada’s economic activity by a total of a half-trillion dollars over the next five years.

The Canada First Economic Action Plan will make life affordable again. Workers will keep more of their paycheques with the Bring It Home Tax Cut, cutting income taxes by 15% so the average worker can keep an extra $900 each year, while dual-income families will keep $1,800 more. Conservatives will also make each dollar go further by axing the federal sales tax on new homes up to $1.3 million. Combined with a plan to incentivize cities to lower development charges, this will save homebuyers $100,000 on new homes.

And to protect our auto workers’ jobs and save Canadians money, Conservatives will axe the sales tax on new Canadian cars. Conservatives will train 350,000 new apprentices over the next five years with an expanded Union Training and Innovation Program (UTIP), and restore the $4000 apprenticeship grants the Liberals cancelled. This means more good, union jobs for our young people, and more homes being built by our skilled tradesworkers for those young people to live in.

We need to boost our economy by unleashing our resources, but Mark Carney has doubled down on his failed Liberal “keep-it-in-the-ground” ideology. He has said he will keep C-69, the energy production cap, and the industrial carbon tax. He will continue to stifle development in Canada, leading to more economic stagnation and reliance on foreign imports. Carney will make us more reliant on the American export market, where we are forced to sell our resources at a discount.

Poilievre’s new Canada First Economic Action Plan will:

  • Repeal C-69 along with Bill C-48
  • Lift the cap on Canadian energy and scrap the industrial carbon tax
  • Create a National Energy Corridor, a pre-approved transport corridor for pipelines, transmission lines, railways and other critical infrastructure.
