Conservative caucus meets in B.C. before Parliament returns next week
Pierre Poilievre will address Conservative caucus members in Penticton before they return to Parliament Hill, with affordability expected to be a party focus.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is set to address caucus members meeting in Penticton, B.C., today before they return to Parliament Hill next week. He recently travelled to New York, where he urged U.S. media outlets to support a return to tariff-free trade with the United States.
At home, Poilievre has said his party plans to focus on affordability. The summer has brought public internal disputes over the federal party's direction, involving some members of Parliament.
The Conservatives are polling well behind Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberals, while the trade war with the United States has dominated the summer news cycle. Poilievre is also set to hold a campaign-style rally in Brantford, Ont., this weekend, where local Conservative MP Larry Brock is set to resign this week.
