Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and his party will vote against the Liberal government's proposed GST exemption bill. Poilievre has called it irresponsible and inflationary. He stated that this is not a tax cut but rather an inflationary move, one that would be used as a trick for two months.

Poilievre emphasized the need for tax relief that truly benefits the economy by encouraging the production of goods purchased with cash.

It is worth noting that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised a two-month GST exemption starting next month. A vote on the bill will be held today.

With the support of the NDP, the bill is expected to pass, but the $250 rebate is not included in the legislation at this time.
