Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre initiated debate in the House of Commons with a non-confidence motion targeting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, using quotes from NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh’s criticism of the Liberal government.
OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he agrees with NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh on one thing: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ’s Liberals are too weak to fight for Canadians.
Poilievre told the House his non-confidence motion will afford MPs the chance to vote on the"wise things that he said" when it's expected to come up next week. That came after Ottawa's recent interventions to end disruptions by striking rail and port workers by asking the Canada Industrial Relations Board to intervene.In the back-and-forth, NDP MP Matthew Green scoffed at Poilievre's remarks and accused him of cosplaying as a supporter of organized labour.
McPherson also used the report, about Canada's global assistance for sexual and reproductive health rights, to pivot to domestic abortion issues by accusing the Conservatives of being beholden to abortion opponents and the Liberals of failing to protect access to services.
