Speaking during question period at the House of Commons on Monday, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of starting a “war on work” with taxes and questioned whether the government would announce “serious penalties” for gatekeepers raising housing costs.
Trudeau responded by giving examples of the Canada child-care benefit, clean energy investments and workers’ benefits as policies to support middle-class workers.
NDP MP Jenny Kwan also said that the closure of Roxham Road over the weekend with “an invisible wall” would “only drive persecuted asylum-seekers on a more dangerous pathway,” while parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Marie-France Lalonde responded by saying that the government had “finally updated” the Safe Third Country Act and that this was a “victory.”
Green Party leader Elizabeth May said she was “scandalized” following the statement from Han Dong last week, demanding to know “What the heck is going on here and will an inquiry find out who in CSIS thinks it’s okay to leak to the media?" Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs Dominic Leblanc added that he believes the appointment of David Johnston as special rapporteur would be important for the next steps.
