Commons devotes day to tributes for Queen Elizabeth II

Liberal MP Justin Trudeau told the House that Canada lost the only sovereign most members have known and that the Queen's absence has struck the country palpably. He said it is important to recognize the service and leadership she provided.

Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre said the Queen served as a role model for those in public service and that her sense of duty and humility reminded members that government is not about them but about the people they serve. Bloc Québécois MP Yves-François Blanchet expressed condolences on behalf of his party while noting the difficult history between the Crown and the Quebec nation.
