Affordability & Housing

Fuel and transportation costs

Conservative's promises

Commit $50M to removing tolls on the Confederation Bridge

"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

Review government support for the Wood Islands-Caribou ferry to Nova Scotia

"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 promises

Incentivise municipalities to free up land, speed up permits, and cut development charges

Home ownership

Conservative's promise

Remove the GST on the sale of new homes up to $1.3M, and cut $8B of current government housing initiatives to pay for it

"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 promises

Drop the tax rate on the lowest income tax bracket from 15% to 12.75%

"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

End tax write-offs for luxury corporate jets

"No more write-offs of luxury corporate jets. Corporations will be able to write off the equivalent of a commercial flight. Charter flights needed to get workers to remote job sites will not be impacted by this change." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

Trades

Conservative's promises

Allow trades workers to write off the full cost of food, transport, and accommodation needed to go from one job to another

Oil and gas

Conservative's promises

Create a pre-approved transport corridor within Canada for transmission lines, railways, and pipelines

"Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre announced today he will create a ‘Canada First’ National Energy Corridor to fast-track approvals for transmission lines, railways, pipelines, and other critical infrastructure across Canada in a pre-approved transport corridor entirely within Canada, transporting our resources within Canada and to the world while bypassing the United States. It will bring billions of dollars of new investment into Canada’s economy, create powerful paycheques for Canadian workers, and restore our economic independence." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

"In the corridor, all levels of government will provide legally binding commitments to approve projects. This means investors will no longer face the endless regulatory limbo that has made Canadians poorer. First Nations will be involved from the outset, ensuring that economic benefits flow directly to them and that their approval is secured before any money is spent." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

Jobs, Businesses, & Labour

Investment

Conservative's promises

Allow Canadians to contribute an extra $5,000/year to Tax-Free Savings Accounts, so long as the money supports Canadian companies

"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

Remove the capital gains tax on sales of assets where the proceeds are reinvested in Canada until the end of 2026

"Today, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre announced the Canada First Reinvestment Tax Cut. Any person or business selling an asset will pay no capital gains tax when they reinvest the proceeds in Canada. Companies that reinvest in active Canadian businesses will also defer any capital gains tax. These gains will still be taxed later on when investors cash out or move the money out of Canada. The break will be available on any reinvestments done until the end of 2026." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

"The Canada First Reinvestment Tax Cut will be rocket fuel for our economy. It will incentivize investors—from small business owners, to farmers, to homebuilders—to reinvest and build things here in Canada. Canadians will have a powerful incentive to sell foreign investments and reinvest the proceeds, creating jobs in Canada. Because the break does not go to anyone moving money out of the country, investors will be strongly discouraged from moving money out of Canada. Instead, they will bring it home to build, invent, create, and hire here in Canada.” This tax cut will be available for any capital gains reinvested between July 1, 2025, to December 31, 2026. But, if it causes a major economic boom, as expected, Conservatives will make it permanent." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

Permanently remove the capital gains tax on sales of assets when the proceeds are reinvested in Canada if the temporary removal is a success
