Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre scolded Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for not attending what he called “prime minister’s question period” on Wednesday, accusing Trudeau of ducking questions on the carbon pricing pause on home heating oil.

“I know I don’t have my glasses on, but that guy doesn’t look like the prime minister,” he said at one point after Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault spoke, claiming that Trudeau had previously said he would be present on Wednesdays to answer questions in the House.

Prime Minister Trudeau was on Parliament Hill on Wednesday but did not attend question period. He did answer questions about the carbon pricing pause a day earlier, on Tuesday.

“If he’s so proud of himself and what he’s done, then why won’t he stand up now and defend it,” Poilievre said.

Trudeau and his government have faced criticism in recent days from premiers and federal opposition for the carbon pricing pause, a policy that primarily benefits residents in Atlantic Canada and which premiers say is unfair.
