As Parliament returns in Ottawa, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended the first question period of the year, where he was pressed on his plan to tackle the cost of living, federal health spending, crime, and controversial contracts.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre kicked off the session by questioning Trudeau about the contracts awarded to consulting firm McKinsey under the Liberals, which has been assessed at $101.4 million, according to a statement from Public Services and Procurement Canada.
In addition, citing the recent spike in violence on the TTC, Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman called on the public minister of safety and the Canadian government to reform its “weak” bail system that leaves “repeat violent offenders out on our streets.”
Also, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh called out Trudeau for praising Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s plan to bring in more private health care as “innovative” when he supposedly criticized the Conservatives for proposing for-profit health care during the last campaign. “Why the flip flop?” Singh asked.

As MPs return to Parliament, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing questions over the rising cost of living in Canada and his government’s controversial contracts with McKinsey & Company.
The cost of living in Canada has been on the rise for years, with the average Canadian household spending more on housing, food, and transportation in 2019 than in any other year. This is putting a strain on many Canadians, especially those in low-income brackets.
Trudeau and the Liberal government have been criticized for their handling of the situation, with many accusing them of not doing enough to help those affected. The government has implemented a number of measures, such as the Canada Child Benefit, but critics say these measures are not enough.
Meanwhile, the government has come under fire for awarding a $45 million contract to McKinsey & Company, a consulting firm, for advice on how to manage the pandemic. The contract has been criticized by opposition parties, who say the money could have been better spent on other programs.
Trudeau and the Liberal government have defended the contract, saying it was necessary to get the best advice possible on how to manage the pandemic. They have also argued that the money was well spent, as the advice from McKinsey has been instrumental in helping the government make decisions during the pandemic.
As MPs return to Parliament, Trudeau and the Liberal government will be facing questions from the opposition on these issues. The government will need to provide clear answers and demonstrate that it is taking the necessary steps to address the rising cost of living in Canada and ensure that taxpayer money is being spent responsibly.
The other leader had better step up we the people of Canada want a non confidence vote the criminal activity the liberals are involved in needs to be called out if not then you are all involved
I wish they would stop calling turdo "honourable",,couldnt be farther fron the truth
I watch this in tears. the liberals wont stop and listen to Canadian's. were over taxed. were hungry. were broke. and I am about 30 days away from putting my wife and children on the street. and this is what I get. A government that wont answer questions and line their pockets
We Canadian suffer severely from the inflation everywhere, sky high rent and house price, gas. YOU GUYS SHOULD BANLANCE THE IMMIGRATION AND THE HOUSING.
everyone of the party saying is make sense to the canadian people… so, what is mr. speaker going to do for better for canadian? to get jobs for canadian is STOP importing products from out side canada period.

Live in Ontario,, living alone one bedroom, child support,, now it's gas in my car and 2 meals a day,, or no car to drive for work,,, and 3 meals a day
Thats great Canada, we have an East Indian that no one voted for calling the shots for our Government Liberals, who no one voted for as they systematically. destroy our NATURAL RESOURCE BASED ECONOMY RELATING to idealism. (Not structure). How do think we pay the the bills in this Country?
The cost of living is speculation and cheating arseholes… It's all local issues.
Supermarket giants jacking up prices, restaurants putting 100% menu hikes when they only got hit with 11% cost increases (I worked for once), places without rent control letting rents go up as well as property values which cities like because of property taxes.
The one thing that the Federal is guilty of though, is prioritizing RICH immigrants that price us out, or tech people that fill OUR jobs. I want FAMILIES that work and start on the SAME foot as the locals… Not instant owners and bosses.
A LOT of businesses are abusing the consumers right now.
A sea of algae with mouthes

Chrystia Freeland should go fight the war she started to settle scores she inherited from her grandfather Mikaelo. Add German Green Party leader Baerbeck to the 'Axis of Karen's ; Nuland, Freeland and Von der Lyon. Trudeau Just Transitioned to a Karen ever since the WEF penetrated his cabinet. A penetration which was managed by Chrystia as a high value race horse breeder does when breeding a high value mare.
