Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has released the fully costed platform with more than $31 billion in deficits this year.
The measures include a 15 per cent income tax cut for Canadians making an annual salary of $57,000 a year.
The new promises would result in a deficit of $31.4 billion in 2025-2026; $31.5 billion in 2026-2027; $23.6 billion in 2027-2028; and $14.2 billion in 2028-2029.
Poilievre claimed that his plan will cut the “Liberal deficit by 70 per cent” by cutting back on “bureaucracy, consultants, foreign aid to dictators and terrorists.” He says he will slash money for special interests and unleash “half a trillion dollars of extra economic growth by unlocking the power of resources in home building.”

A former Bank Governor says the numbers in Conservative Pierre Poilievre’s costed plan “are a joke.”
The former Bank Governor also slammed the platform as having “phantom numbers” and “phantom growth that comes from the sky.”
“We aren’t in a joke. We are in the worst crisis in our lives,”the former Bank Governor said , noting that Poilievre does not have a plan to challenge U.S. President Donald Trump.
