Canada's opposition leader Pierre Poilievre has criticised Justin Trudeau in Parliament on the country's inflation and economy, as he called on the Prime Minister to sit down with the premiers to discuss the federal carbon tax.

During a recent talk with the Calgary Economic Development, Trudeau told the audience its the role of government to "make it more expensive" for people who "don’t want to think about the future" and "don’t want to prepare for the future today".
