Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole and Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet are set to give their formal replies to the throne speech today after being absent from the House of Commons last week due to COVID-19.

Both leaders, who are expected to take their seats in the House today, were unable to attend the throne speech in person and voiced their disagreement from isolation on Sept. 23 after having tested positive for the virus.
