New Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre used his first speech to his caucus today to issue a challenge to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

He says if Trudeau understands the suffering of Canadians due to inflation, he should commit to no new tax increases for workers and seniors.

Meanwhile, Trudeau is slamming Poilievre's economic policies as irresponsible.

The prime minister is currently meeting with his caucus ahead of the House of Commons resuming next week.
