Tory MP’s Push To Suspend Trudeau’s Pay Shut Down At Finance Committee

Though the House reconvened at different points over several weeks to pass emergency legislation, a specialallowed MPs to meet virtually and in the House. Tories pushed for the full resumption of Parliament instead.

In May, Liberals, New Democrats, and Green MPs voted to suspend regular sittings until the fall, with four meetings of the COVID-19 committee in the summer. Though Trudeau attended two such meetings in July, he was on holiday and not in attendance when the committee met again Wednesday. “His absence meant he could not answer questions about his $500 million grant to a group that had paid his family more than $500,000 in fees and expenses,” Poilievre said, reading the text of his motion. He was referencing the speaking fees and expenses paid to members of the Trudeau family, chieflyThe critic said Trudeau has “taken off 20 days in six weeks,” evidently based on the prime minister’s daily itinerary that notes when he has “personal days,” including on weekends.

Poilieve pressed on and called for the finance committee to “suspend the prime minister’s pay until he returns to work and takes questions in Parliament.”Poilievre protested the motion was related because it referenced a grant program that was part of the government’s COVID-19 spending. “Furthermore, pay for members of the government is a financial matter,” he said. “It is very much in order.”

“Mr. Poilievre, I’m not going to argue with you. It may be a motion that could be put in Parliament but as to the business of this committee, I’m ruling it out of order,” Easter said, before adjourning the meeting.As prime minister,

CONs are never happy unless they are attacking PMJT. Their attendance since the pandemic started has been sketchy; perhaps we should dock their pay?!!!

Has anyone mentioned Michelle Rempel's 6 month foreign vacation to the cons?

Conservatives call for pay cut for missing time and it’s not the TheBeaverton

I am not happy with you. Try to be happy. Hopeful

Trump works everyday and the HuffPost's darling Trudeau is always on vacation.

Perhaps we should have cut the pay of HARPER, SCHEER AND GANG when they perogued parliament to hide from scrutiny of SCANDAL after SCANDAL

funny, i read that as troll mp not tory....so weird 🤷

Since July 4, PM Moonbeam has taken 19 personal days 13 private days and 2 retreat days. WTF? Any employee in Canada would be fired. PierrePoilievre is right to demand a suspension of pay until the clown shows up. His arrogance is staggering

So many real issues facing Canadians and we have to listen to PierrePoilievre . This is the CPC_HQ .

Wish Twitter had 'wow' reacts. 😲

So tired of conservatives. Be part of the solution do not create negativity

Pipsqueak Poilievre’s pathetic attempt to look relevant fell flat, yet again.

A fun thing to try and do but a waste of the committee’s time

I like the student response. If he is under review he shouldn’t have to answer questions about it for the shit disturbing CP or namely mr Scheer the school yard bully

wait we can refuse to pay a politician now? lets stop paying the Cons and NDP for all their BS games as they destroy a world renown charity and hurting Canadian students during a pandemic

Is PP also asking Michelle Remple to return all the pay she earned while in the U.S.?

Good idea! I’d just attempt a coup & stop Trudeau re-entering Canada. He can sail to China and seek asylum there. cdnpoli

And Michelle Rempel is still in Oklahoma.

They should suspend this idiots pay unless he decides to do the business of running this country rather continuing to embarrass himself. Thank god no knows who he is.

Oh...little PP must be upset.....

Good thing; absolutely ridiculous on PigeonPierre's part. However, apparently the CONs have had abysmal attendance since March so perhaps the same should be applied to them?
