Poilievre Urges Provinces to Cut Sales Taxes on New Homes Under $1M

The Conservative leader seeks provincial support to align with his federal tax cut plan aimed at boosting housing affordability.

Pierre Poilievre has asked provincial premiers to eliminate sales taxes on new homes priced under $1 million, following his promise to remove the federal GST on such homes.
The Conservative leader argues that cutting sales taxes will make home ownership more accessible and stimulate the construction of an additional 30,000 homes annually.
Poilievre plans to fund the federal tax cut by eliminating certain Liberal housing programs, which he criticizes as ineffective.
The proposed tax cut could save Canadians $40,000 on an $800,000 home, according to Conservative estimates.
Poilievre has been vocal in blaming Prime Minister Trudeau's government for the rise in housing prices and rents since 2015.
