Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer laid out Monday the numerous lines of inquiry his party intends to follow this week as a modified version of a House of Commons sitting gets underway.

They include the state of the nation's emergency supply stockpile, the mishmash of federal economic benefit programs that allow some to fall through the cracks and to what extent the minority Liberals are backstopping provincial efforts to reopen their economies, Scheer said.

All-party consensus had been required to keep it closed past April 20. The Opposition Conservatives wanted a return to four days of sittings, albeit with a much smaller group than the 338 MPs who make up the House of Commons. As Scheer calls for a Liberal plan, behind closed doors his caucus is also drawing up what a conservative approach to getting the economy back on track would look like.

"Our role is to do that thinking, as much as to respond what the government presents, to understand how we would do it differently and that's whether you're in a minority or a majority." Scheer had initially refused to address Sloan's remarks, saying he would not discuss ideas put forward by leadership candidates. The backlash they prompted, including by Conservatives, saw him clarify Monday that he does not agree with Sloan's characterization, nor does the Conservative caucus.

About time

I’ve seen a lot of posts saying JT is gonna get grilled but never witnessed anything of the sort, maybe bring in Mulcair he has more experience in this area, certainly better than useless Jagmeet a Trudeau clone

Thank God he didn't win the election !!!

if this guy wasnt such a racist, he might hold a tidbit of credibility.

Why does Sheer never want to work with the government? If all you can do is point out the bad stuff instead of working on solutions, you shouldn't be a politician.

Is this guy still talking?

Please take the smirk off your face

As long as they can manage to be critical of policy, and not of personality, then great, that's what they're being paid to do.

Go away!

Pilsbury doughboy

Go away andrew!!! No one wants you around.. your not the leader anymore.

Canada needs a strong functioning opposition with an intelligent, educated, reasonable, patient, and compassionate leader. Guess we have 0 out 5 with Sheer. Hope the conservatives can find someone.

No one cares. Go away.

AndrewScheer should be answering some serious questions about the level of racism he allows in the CPC_HQ. UnfitForOffice

Our government is doing great. I doubt that the conservatives would have have handled the pandemic to this level.

Send this american home already.

Juss gearin’ up!

Canada needs a real Opposition. CONS are clowns with zero integrity, zero morals. Ignored and mocked because of their ignorance and daily stumbles. Buffoons.

Back off. They are doing great. It’s a pandemic.

I wish he would just go away. His negativity makes me nervous and anxious .

Conservatives have nothing better to do, they are not in power, they continue to lead their party into a garbage dump.

AndrewScheer

Unless an opposition leader steps up in providing all Canadians with CovidTesting 4 all, they have no place in criticizing anyone in government, instead they should unite and help 2 get us all what we truly need 2 get up n running again. Common sense says we need testing.

This is nothing but a political tactic during a vulnerable time in which Canadians don't need anymore added stress than already experiencing, as far as I'm concerned ANDREWSCHEER is a scum bag 2 be playing politics at a time as such. Stop putting garbage in ppl's minds.

Boy it only took him, *looks at watch, over 2 months to notice all the people were dying. Astute af. 🙄

If only our politics had the will to be collaborative but it does not. Authority needs to be held accountable. When it is used unchecked we have the paternalism of Mulroney, Harper, now Kenney and Ford- tough love telling us the punishment is for our own good. Except it fails. 🇨🇦

Really? It's called Parlimentary democracy and it's usually everyday

Anyone who voted or thinks the liberal government has done anything good since being elected needs a punch in the throat and probably stop acting 🇨🇦....you are pathetic

AndrewScheer is behind closed doors drawing up what a conservative approach to getting the economy back on track would look like. OH that seems worthless given conservatives are leaderless & have no idea what the CPC’s themselves will look like if & when they have a leader!

Politics makes me sick. One country. Instead of working together they want to divide. Find solutions not problems.

Really? Are they Or they going to say something, get backlash and apologize!!! Ffs stand up !!! Put this joke of a government accountable!!! Call them out with NO apology!! Geezus want me to do it I’ll rip them to pieces

Giddy-up!

CPC_HQ gear up to hold liberal_party accountable for its actions. There - fixed your headline

If it’s as lame as Scheer’s non-response to racist comments from a Tory MP, it is hardly going to light the world on fire. What would they have done differently? What should be done now?

They don't listen! They don't answer questions! They need to be ousted!

go away already , wasn't he supposed to leave , make like a library and book Sheer

Angry WHO from Whoville.

I'll likely NEVER vote Conservative but I'm glad to see some progress here and some expanded debate and protocols

What a gearbox....!!! If brains were simply empty space in your noggin you can bet he would win the world’s first prize...hmmm... oh I forgot about the guy down south… It would be a close finish… Poor Andy has no idea how much his own want him gone..

Oh goody ! We can watch the children bicker, and get even more of nothing done 🎉

Hey, you know all those meathead governments everywhere else with Ministries run by boot licking, faith-based idiots? The ones with piles of bodies instead of effective pandemic strategies? Yeah, give us that.

The attack of the second virus! Seriously?....... there’s always room for improvement. I’d say all around the Canadian government is doing better than most. Hate to say it, but, even Ford has stepped up as a competent leader. Sheer is throwing stones........

CTV news gears up to protect failed government from truth exposure.

Why we still dont have a new conservative leader yet?

It's as if the Cons want the gov to fail. This is very disturbing considering our country is going through a pandemic. This gathering should be done virtually to help with safety during concerns re: Covid19.

And again receive no real answers from the Liberals. LiberalismIsTheRealPandemic
