Mr. Poiivre and other Conservatives accused Trudeau of hesitating to recriminalize hard drugs and putting decent Canadians at risk with policies that are far out of sync with Canadians’ expectations.
“Mr. Speaker, it is the prime minister’s choice to implement extremist policies that are costing the lives of 2,500 British Columbians every year,” Poièvre said. claimed. “Twenty-two British Columbians have died of drug overdoses since the NDP asked him to reverse the radical policies of his and previous NDPs. We continue to allow people to die on transportation.”
“When are we going to end this bizarre policy of this eccentric Prime Minister?” the Conservative leader asked, demanding that the Speaker retract his statement because the word “wacko” was “not a parliamentary term”.
Mr. Poièvre agreed to replace “wacky” with “extremist,” and when Mr. Fergus did not accept the substitution and insisted that the insult be withdrawn altogether, he responded by suggesting “extremist.” Ta. Poilievre refused and was sent off for the day. CBC reported that other Conservative MPs also withdrew from the chamber in solidarity following the exclusion. Separately, Conservative MP Rachel Thomas was removed from the meeting for calling Fergus a “disgrace”.
