Speaker Greg Fergus kicked Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre out of the House of Commons throughout query interval Tuesday.

All Conservative MPs have left the chamber in protest after Fergus gave Poilievre a number of possibilities to withdraw feedback calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a “wacko.”

Poilievre mentioned he would exchange the phrase with “radical,” then that he would “simply withdraw and replace” the language with the time period “extremist.”

Fergus mentioned the Conservative chief was disregarding the authority of the chair.

The change got here after Conservative MP Rachael Thomas was kicked out of the chamber for disregarding directions from the Speaker, whom she referred to as “disgraceful.”

Immediately earlier than the occasions, Trudeau had accused Poilievre of associating with far-right extremists and mentioned an individual who does so isn’t match to be prime minister.
