Poilievre Threatens to Delay MPs' Holiday to Force Carbon Tax Vote

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is threatening to delay MPs' holidays with procedural tactics to block Liberal economic plans until the PM removes the carbon tax.

Poilievre made the threat after Liberal senators amended a private member's bill regarding carbon tax relief for farmers, effectively killing it.

Poilievre accused Trudeau of ruining Christmas and said Conservatives will ruin his vacation by forcing votes on thousands of amendments.
-
Government House Leader Karina Gould condemned Poilievre's threats as "completely irresponsible" and accused him of taking Parliament hostage.

In Question Period, PM Trudeau said Poilievre is only interested in "rage farming" while Conservatives will keep working for Canadians.
