Conservative MP Scott Reid called out the prime minister for breaking a no-food rule in the House of Commons Wednesday.
OTTAWA — There was a teachable moment in the House of Commons Wednesday after Conservative MP Scott Reid accused the prime minister of sneaking a bagel under his desk. Rules state members"may refresh themselves with glasses of water during debate, but the consumption of any other beverage or food is not allowed."Reid, a longtime Tory MP, also called out the defence and heritage minister for the same violation.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rose to admit to breaching the no-food rule, but said the item wasn't a baked good."It was a chocolate bar. I apologize," he said. Montreal Liberal MP Anthony Housefather chimed in on social media to share his disappointment that the snack Trudeau had snuck in was candy bar and not one of the city's wood-fired bagels.
