Affordability & Housing
Fuel and transportation costs
Conservative's promises
"Conservative Deputy Leader Melissa Lantsman announced today that a Conservative government led by Pierre Poilievre will scrap the tolls on the Confederation Bridge to save residents and businesses over $50 every time they travel to the mainland." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17
"This $50 million commitment will cover the operating costs for the Confederation Bridge which is currently paid for with tolls. It will end the unfair tax that Islanders have to pay just to leave their own province, keeping more of their money in their pockets." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17
"Conservatives will also immediately conduct a review of federal support for the Wood Islands-Caribou ferry." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17
Home construction and supply
Conservative's promise
"Conservatives will also incentivize municipalities to free up land, speed up permits and cut development charges to build 15% more homes each year." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17
Home ownership
Conservative's promise
"A Poilievre government would fund this homebuyers’ tax cut by eliminating $8 billion of the Liberals’ bureaucratic housing schemes that have only driven up housing prices. Conservatives will also incentivize municipalities to free up land, speed up permits and cut development charges to build 15% more homes each year." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17
Tax measures and rebates
Conservative's promise
"Poilievre announced he will cut income tax by 15%, dropping the tax rate on the lowest income tax bracket from 15% to 12.75%, meaning the average Canadian worker earning $57,000 will save $900, with two income families saving $1,800 a year. It’s time to let Canadians keep more of what they earn." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

Marine conservation
Conservative's promise
"Today, Clifford Small, Conservative candidate for Central Newfoundland, announced that Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Government will restore the seal harvest to protect harvesters’ jobs, and take back control of the seal and sea lion population that is destroying our fish stocks." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17
Jobs, Businesses, & Labour
Investment
Conservative's promise
"Nothing about Canadians’ existing TFSAs would change. The existing $7,000 limit would remain, but Canadians will now be able to contribute up to an additional $5,000 a year, if that money supports Canadian companies that employ Canadian workers and pay Canadian taxes. The tax system already defines Canadian investments, and a Poilievre government will create a definition that lets financial institutions and advisors label which stocks, mutual funds and other investments can go into your Canada First TFSA Top-Up." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17
Public Safety, Policing, & the Justice System
Criminal sentencing
Conservative's promise

- Importing or exporting ten or more illegal firearms.
- Fentanyl trafficking."
