OTTAWA — Testy exchanges between the prime minister and his chief opponent ended with the Opposition leader and one of his MPs being ejected from the House of Commons on Tuesday — and the rest of Conservative caucus walking out of the chamber in prot
est.
The tense back-and-forth came as Poilievre and the Conservatives were attacking the Liberals for having allowed British Columbia to allow the decriminalization of hard drugs like heroin and fentanyl in public places, which the provincial NDP government is now asking Health Canada to reverse.Trudeau ignored that issue completely, responding to each question about drugs by accusing Poilievre of associating with far-right extremists.
Poilievre said the prime minister's words were only his"latest distraction" from his own"extremist policies."Fergus then drew the line.He asked Poilievre to withdraw his comments, saying they were unparliamentary. Much of the Conservative caucus exited at the same time, and all of them eventually left before question period was over.
Health Minister Mark Holland defended the Speaker's call, saying Poilievre was removed because he refused to retract his language.
