Who will stand up for the government to defend the Prime Minister’s innocence in the Wright-Duffy affair? You get one guess. Scroll down for the answer. If you’ve watched Question Period even sparingly in past weeks, you only need one guess.

Paul Calandra, who answers questions with questions with the best of them, will be pelted with queries related to Sen. Irving Gerstein’s role in the Wright-Duffy affair, and the PM’s confidence in the senator. Apart from questions on the Senate, opposition MPs who don’t get a chance to rise during the rest of the week will ask about a smorgasbord of other issues.

Maclean’s is your home for the daily political theatre that is Question Period, when MPs trade barbs and take names for 45 minutes every day.
