OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is not allowed to speak in the House of Commons today 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. Joly accused Poilievre of"gaslighting" and playing politics on a day that was meant to respect the victims of Oct. 7. At the end of question period Fergus asked Poilievre to withdraw his comment about Joly, noting he had asked another MP to withdraw after he made a similar comment about Poilievre"pandering to a regime I think most of us would find odious."
"Over the last few months, the member refused to heed decisions by the chair on non-parliamentary remarks during question periods on two occasions," Fergus said. He held a news conference in the foyer outside the House of Commons earlier in the day accusing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals of being at fault for the rise in antisemitism in Canada in the last year.
