Prime Minister Justin Trudeau caused a tumult on Feb. 16 during question period as he responded to a Conservative MP who is Jewish by saying her party stands with people waving swastikas. Trudeau was asked to apologize repeatedly but he did not.

MP Melissa Lantsman used her time in question period to contrast words said by the prime minister in 2015 and those said more recently when he disparaged people who don’t have COVID-19 vaccination.
