Ottawa, March 30, 2025 – Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has announced the Canada First Reinvestment Tax Cut, a bold new policy aimed at driving economic growth by eliminating capital gains taxes on reinvestments within Canada. The move is designed to bring back billions in investments for homebuilding, factories, mining, and small businesses, while reducing reliance on the U.S. economy.
As part of the broader Canada First Plan, Poilievre’s Conservatives pledge to:
• Retaliate against U.S. trade policies by imposing tariffs on American goods Canada can produce, doesn’t need, or can source elsewhere.
• Redirect tariff revenue into tax relief, with targeted support for workers affected by U.S. tariffs.
• Introduce a “Bring It Home” Tax Cut to lower costs on work, investment, energy, and homebuilding, aiming to curb inflation and create jobs.
• Scrap Bill C-69 and fast-track major energy projects, including LNG plants, pipelines, and mines, to expand Canada’s global market reach.
• Launch the largest homebuilding boom in Canadian history by cutting red tape and taxes on housing construction.
• Eliminate interprovincial trade barriers to create a stronger national economy and lower prices for Canadians.
• Strengthen national security by rebuilding the military, securing borders, and reaffirming Canadian sovereignty.
Poilievre is framing this initiative as a way to put Canada first and reclaim economic independence. “We will stop the outflow of Canadian money and talent, bring jobs back home, and ensure Canada thrives on its own terms,” he said.
With a federal election on the horizon, the Conservatives are betting that lower taxes, economic self-sufficiency, and a pro-business agenda will resonate with Canadians frustrated by inflation and economic uncertainty.
