Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has pledged to reduce federal spending on consultants by $10 billion annually, aiming to return to pre-Liberal government levels. He argues that current outsourcing costs are burdening Canadian families with higher taxes. However, analysts point out that the Conservative platform lacks detailed costing, making it difficult for voters to assess how these promises will be funded or compare them to other parties' plans. The absence of a fully costed platform is seen as a missed opportunity for transparency. This debate highlights ongoing concerns about government spending and fiscal accountability in Canada.

Lack of costed Conservative platform is an ‘opportunity lost,’ says analyst
Although the Conservatives have released 95 per cent of their platform, they have not shown how they will pay for their promises, leaving voters without the ability to compare how the Conservative priorities stack up against other parties.

I worry that Poilievre is making promises on things to make himself look good but I have a feeling things will go bad in politics if he gets in
