Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to fire federal labour minister Seamus O'Regan, alleging that he has mishandled the B.C. port strike that has been going on and off since July 1.

In a July 30 letter, Mr. Poilievre demands that Mr. Trudeau “end the strike, fire your incompetent Labour Minister.”
