During question period in the House of Commons on Thursday, Leader of the Opposition Pierre Poilievre criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over reports that bills paid by the government included $6,000 a night hotel stays for the Canadian delegation during Queen Elizabeth's funeral. Meanwhile, Canadians are experiencing "the fastest rising interest rates in 30 years and inflation in four decades."

"When will the government realize that Canadians are out of money and the party's over here?" he asked the Liberals.

He also brings up the video of Trudeau singing in a hotel lobby in London, England days before the queen's official state funeral which had sparked debate on social media.

Minister for Families Karina Gould said Poilievre "seems to have amnesia" because over the past two years, the Liberals have supported Canadians in "their darkest hour," by providing monetary relief for businesses and families.

Speaker of the House Anthony Rota had to chime in to remind the leaders of parliamentary language after Poilievre was "kind of pushing it."
