   Diversity and InclusionMr. Yves-François Blanchet (Bloc) asked Justin Trudeau (Liberal). loaded question.The answer discusses listening to communities broadly without addressing the specific concerns about Elghawaby or unequal privileges.in a pluralist and diverse society like Canada's and Quebec's, it is important to discuss and listen to all the various concerns of the communities and to respond specifically to these concerns.

    Mental Health and AddictionsPierre Poilievre (Conservative) asked Justin Trudeau (Liberal). substantive question.The answer briefly acknowledges the request then pivots to attacking the asker about Diagolon instead of committing to reverse the policy.Given the new, more reasonable tone of the Leader of the Opposition, I wonder whether he might take this opportunity to reassure Canadians that he neither supports extremist, white nationalist organizations like Diagolon nor wants their votes.
11. misdirected
    Mental Health and AddictionsPierre Poilievre (Conservative) asked Justin Trudeau (Liberal). substantive question.The answer restates working with BC but immediately shifts to demanding condemnation of Diagolon and Alex Jones rather than answering the yes-or-no question.At the same time, I will point out that the Leader of the Opposition refuses to say a simple thing: that he condemns Diagolon because it is a white nationalist, violent organization, and that he rejects the endorsement of Alex Jones

    JusticePierre Poilievre (Conservative) asked Justin Trudeau (Liberal). substantive question.The answer claims prior questions were answered then redirects entirely to Diagolon and Alex Jones instead of addressing catch-and-release or bail reform.However, the Leader of the Opposition has not answered Canadians' concerns about why he will not condemn Diagolon, the far right extremist organization and why he will not reject the endorsement of Alex Jones, noted conspiracy theorist.
14. deflected
    Mental Health and AddictionsPierre Poilievre (Conservative) asked Justin Trudeau (Liberal). substantive question.The answer gives a flat no but immediately pivots to accusing the asker of seeking extremist support rather than elaborating on policy.If the Leader of the Opposition wants to talk about secret plans, he would probably do well to actually clear the air for Canadians about his seeking support among members of extremist right wing organizations like Diagolon.
15. answered

16. partly answered
    JusticeMr. Yves-François Blanchet (Bloc) asked Justin Trudeau (Liberal). loaded question.The answer states the intent to intervene at the Supreme Court but does not address the charge of creating divisions or privileges.as the Bloc Québécois leader knows full well, when Bill 21 lands in the Supreme Court, we will intervene in our capacity as the federal government, because we are concerned about the consequences this bill could have on Quebeckers.

    FirearmsPierre Poilievre (Conservative) asked Justin Trudeau (Liberal). substantive question.Answer avoids giving a number and instead attacks Poilievre's position on the ban.What the Leader of the Opposition is conveniently refusing to opine on is the fact that he has committed to the gun lobby across this country that he would reverse the 2020 OIC
21. deflected
    FirearmsPierre Poilievre (Conservative) asked Justin Trudeau (Liberal). loaded question.Answer again attacks Poilievre's stance instead of addressing the zero seizures or crime rise.I will note, as did everyone in this chamber, that the Leader of the Opposition did not deny that he will be reversing the ban on assault-style weapons.

34. deflected
    FinancePierre Poilievre (Conservative) asked Justin Trudeau (Liberal). substantive question.Answer sidesteps the repeated request for a mortgage payment figure and instead shares an anecdote about child care.I talked to a family from Burlington who actually saw their mortgage payments go up because of the rise in global interest rates, while at the same time their child care fees were cut by larger amounts because of investments this government made.
