Speaking during question period in the House of Commons on Wednesday, Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre referenced a Bank of Canada interest rate hike announced earlier in the day, saying that “Canadians were hit with another interest rate uppercut today after inflationary deficits by this Liberal government.”

Associate Minister of Finance Randy Boissonnault responded by recalling Poilievre’s past “irresponsible” advice regarding cryptocurrency investments and said the government is focused on eliminating student loans, making it more affordable to buy a house, and supporting workers.

Poilievre also ridiculed recent reports of the government awarding an RCMP contract to a company that allegedly has Chinese ties. “How on God’s green earth did this government think it was a good idea to give a company accused of espionage the control of our anti-espionage technology?” Poilievre asked. The Minister of Public Safety Marco Mendicino responded by assuring that the government has put in place “rigorous processes” to screen for national security concerns and will be investigating this particular contract.

Referencing the controversial proposed firearms legislation Bill C-21, Poilievre also noted that the Liberal MP for the Yukon does not support the bill due to the frequency of hunting in the territory. “Even their own backbench is getting the message — Canadians don’t want to ban hunters, they want to stop criminals. Will the government get the message?” Poilievre asked.
