Poilievre made the comment during question period Monday after he asked the Liberals to condemn what he called antisemitic and “genocidal chants from hateful mobs on our streets.” “She continues to pander to Hamas supporters and the Liberal party as part of her leadership campaign rather than doing her job,” he said.
All MPs, including the Liberals, supported a Conservative motion in the House Monday condemning Hamas and antisemitism in Canada. Fergus initially denied the Liberal request to keep Poilievre from speaking until he withdrew, but changed his mind Tuesday, issuing the one-day ban. Fergus noted this is not Poilievre’s first warning.
“Yesterday’s events represent a third occasion,” Fergus said. “The opposition should withdraw his comments made yesterday during question period...if he is not willing to do so, the chair will not recognize him for the remainder of today.”Poilievre has not yet withdrawn the remark and did not appear in question period Tuesday.
