OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was not allowed to speak in the House of Commons Tuesday as his public feud with Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly spilled into a second day.
Joly responded by naming the seven Canadians killed in the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 and saying the government stands with the Jewish people. "Clearly, the guy's unfit to become a prime minister because Canadians deserve way better," she said, asking him to apologize. Fergus initially denied the Liberal request to keep Poilievre from speaking until he withdrew, but changed his mind Tuesday and issued the one-day ban. Fergus noted this is not Poilievre's first offence nor is he new to the rules of the decorum in the House.
He held a news conference in the foyer outside the House of Commons before question period, accusing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals of being at fault for the rise in antisemitism in Canada in the last year. Tensions in the House of Commons remained during question period, with members from all parties heckling each other at various points throughout as the Speaker tried to restore order.
