  • Allow Canadians to contribute an extra $5,000/year to Tax-Free Savings Accounts, so long as the money supports Canadian companies

    "Nothing about Canadians’ existing TFSAs would change. The existing $7,000 limit would remain, but Canadians will now be able to contribute up to an additional $5,000 a year, if that money supports Canadian companies that employ Canadian workers and pay Canadian taxes. The tax system already defines Canadian investments, and a Poilievre government will create a definition that lets financial institutions and advisors label which stocks, mutual funds and other investments can go into your Canada First TFSA Top-Up." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

  • Remove the capital gains tax on sales of assets where the proceeds are reinvested in Canada until the end of 2026

    "Today, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre announced the Canada First Reinvestment Tax Cut. Any person or business selling an asset will pay no capital gains tax when they reinvest the proceeds in Canada. Companies that reinvest in active Canadian businesses will also defer any capital gains tax. These gains will still be taxed later on when investors cash out or move the money out of Canada. The break will be available on any reinvestments done until the end of 2026." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

    "The Canada First Reinvestment Tax Cut will be rocket fuel for our economy. It will incentivize investors—from small business owners, to farmers, to homebuilders—to reinvest and build things here in Canada. Canadians will have a powerful incentive to sell foreign investments and reinvest the proceeds, creating jobs in Canada. Because the break does not go to anyone moving money out of the country, investors will be strongly discouraged from moving money out of Canada. Instead, they will bring it home to build, invent, create, and hire here in Canada.” This tax cut will be available for any capital gains reinvested between July 1, 2025, to December 31, 2026. But, if it causes a major economic boom, as expected, Conservatives will make it permanent." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

And we would provide additional supports to train more workers for tomorrow’s green economy.

  • Create pre-approved zones for businesses to build mines, power stations, LNG terminals, pipelines, or other major projects

    "Today Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre revealed his plan to create ‘Canada Shovel Ready Zones.’ These zones will be areas already permitted for construction, meaning the permits will not just take less time, but will already be completed when a company decides to build a mine, LNG terminal or pipeline, bringing home thousands of jobs for Canadian workers and taking back control of our economy from the Americans.

    Poilievre described how his Canada First Conservative Government will get the Canada Shovel Ready Zones done:

    1. Identify a location that makes sense for a power station, LNG plant, pipeline, or another major project.
    2. Make sure it is safe for Canadians and the environment.
    3. Work with other levels of government to lock down zoning and permits in advance of construction.
    4. Offer pre-permitting before even getting an application so that permits could be published online with a checklist that businesses would have to complete in order to protect nature and people.

    This means businesses could buy the land, move in, hire people and build, knowing they already have the permits."

It will bring billions of dollars of new investment into Canada’s economy, create powerful paycheques for Canadian workers, and restore our economic independence." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

    "In the corridor, all levels of government will provide legally binding commitments to approve projects. This means investors will no longer face the endless regulatory limbo that has made Canadians poorer.

Trump's tariffs

Conservative

  • Create a $3B fund to provide short-term credit lines and low-interest loans to businesses affected by Trump's tariffs, to help them keep workers on the job

    "The Keep Canadians Working Fund is a targeted, temporary liquidity program designed to help businesses affected by sudden tariffs keep workers on the job. It will provide up to $3 billion in short-term credit lines and low-interest loans to ensure companies can maintain operations and keep employees working in industries affected by Trump tariffs.

    The Fund is modelled on the Business Credit Availability Program (BCAP) that the Harper government created during the 2008 recession to successfully protect affected businesses and jobs. The program will be administered through three existing federal entities: the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), Export Development Canada (EDC) and Farm Credit Canada (FCC)."
