Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says a Conservative government would cut Ottawa ’s annual budget for consultants by $10 billion .

Statistics Canada reported Tuesday that the annual rate of inflation cooled slightly to 2.3 per cent nationally in March , while food prices increased 3.2 per cent year over year.

B.C. has become a key battleground as polls show Liberal and Conservative candidates making inroads in some ridings.
