Monday in the House of Commons, seven different Conservative MPs peppered more than a dozen questions toward Boissonnault on the issue, who in turn delivered short-sentence responses in denying the allegations. “He said he was Indigenous to profit from government contracts, trying to steal from First Nations communities. When will the Prime Minister fire this phony for making false claims to steal from First Nations?” added Alberta Conservative MP Garnett Genuis, in one of several questions prompting an interjection from Speaker Greg Fergus about the choice of words.
“But for others that he may have told mistakenly that he was Indigenous, then yeah could probably be something of value to them.”Speaking to reporters outside West Block, Conservative MP Michael Barrett called on Boissonnault to step down.
