On October 29, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre pledged to eliminate the GST on new homes sold for under $1 million if his party wins the next federal election. Poilievre said he would pay for the plan by cutting two government programs — the Housing Accelerator Fund and the Housing Infrastructure Fund.

On November 4, Poilievre followed up his previous announcement on the GST with a letter sent to the Premiers across the country, calling on provincial governments to remove their respective sales tax (where applicable) on homes sold for under $1M.
