"Call them out on their crap!": Trudeau accuses Conservatives of making homophobic remark

Question period in the House of Commons on Tuesday devolved into shouting and insults after an unidentified member of Parliament (MP) allegedly shouted a homophobic remark towards Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The comment was allegedly made as Trudeau responded to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, who was speaking about the controversial purchase of a $9 million New York City condo on "billionaires row" for Canada's Consul General Tom Clark, a move senior government officials have said was needed after the old office was in need of renovations.

“Mr Speaker, don't worry on this side of the House. We're used to casual homophobic comments from the other side of the House,” Trudeau said adding “Standing up to bullies requires us to call them out on their crap sometimes."

House Speaker Greg Fergus then asked Trudeau to withdraw his "crap" comment

"I will happily withdraw my comment if the member who suggested that I was sharing a bathtub with Tom Clark stands up, takes responsibility,” Trudeau said.

Fergus stated that he "did not know who said it" and he chose "for the reputation of this house for us to move on from that comment."
