Tensions reached a boiling point between NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre during question period in the House of Commons on Sept. 19, after Singh announced his party would not back the Tories’ non-confidence motion against the Liberal government.

During his opening round of questions in the House of Commons, Poilievre criticized the Bloc Québécois and NDP for not endorsing the non-confidence motion aimed at toppling the minority Liberal government.
