Federal Post-Budget Breakfast - 2019: What will it mean for you?
The highly anticipated Federal budget will be released in a matter of weeks. What will it mean for business? What will it mean for Canada? What will it mean for Ottawa?
Join the Ottawa Business Journal and Ottawa Board of Trade for this annual breakfast that provides business leaders with details and analysis on the budget.
Hear insights from:
Honourable Pierre Poilievre
Member of Parliament for Carleton and Shadow Minister of Finance
Pierre Poilievre is a former Minister, a five-term Member of Parliament and the Conservative Shadow Minister of Finance. He champions the free market in which everyone gets ahead on merit, not government handouts, and people take ownership of and responsibility for their own destinies.
To make room for personal freedom and responsibility, he believes in limiting government. For example, Poilievre led the fight against crippling Liberal tax hikes on small businesses in the fall of 2017. This tax revolt forced the government to set aside some of its most damaging proposals. He is also fighting out-of-control deficit spending and tax increases. More recently, he has demanded the government reveal the true cost to families and businesses of its proposed carbon taxes. The government has so far redacted these costs, in what has become known as the "Carbon Tax Cover-Up".
Poilievre also champions jobs for people with disabilities, introducing a bill that would allow workers on disability assistance to keep more in wages than they lose to clawbacks and taxes.
Poilievre lives in Eastern Ontario Village of Greely with his wife Anaida.
