During question period on Monday, NDP MP Blake Desjarlais criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, stating that he “came back empty-handed” after his meeting with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump. However, Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, who was present at the meeting, described it as a “productive discussion” and emphasized that Trudeau did not return empty-handed.
Conservative Deputy Leader Melissa Lantsman raised concerns about the possibility of facing 25% tariffs and called for a ‘Canada First’ plan to address issues with the border between the two countries. Immigration Minister Marc Miller took a jab at Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, accusing him of being unserious and focused on social media instead of important discussions with world leaders.
