Prime Minister Mark Carney and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre held their first verbal joust in the House of Commons as MPs returned to Ottawa for the fall sitting.

Carney had stood several times in the House last spring to take questions from opposition MPs, but without Poilievre being present, as he had lost his long-held seat as the MP representing the Carleton riding in the April 28 election.
