The Leader of the Official Opposition Pierre Poilievre called it “chaos” in question period on Monday after Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned just hours before she was expected to deliver the Fall Economic Statement – itself coming weeks late. After Freeland was no longer going to present the fall statement, the job “automatically to the industry minister, who immediately resigned — like on the spot — which then went down the line. And the next person in order was the famous two Randy’s. And they’re not available to do the job either,” Poilievre said. The Conservative Leader then challenged Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to “have the courage” to show his face and put in a “confidence vote tonight.” NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh stated, “The Prime Minister Trudeau cannot remain in that position.”
