The QP Clip: Candice Bergen mocks the NDP’s affordable housing
The exchange you can’t miss from this afternoon’s Question Period
As the NDP endures its ongoing disagreement with the House of Commons over a controversial satellite office in Montreal, the Tories are making them pay for opening publicly funded offices outside of Ottawa. Candice Bergen, the Minister of State for Social Development, spun NDP MP Anne-Marie Day’s question about inadequate affordable housing into an awkward, if effective, retort about the NDP’s search for "affordable offices." 4/10 for creativity, 10/10 for timing
