Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet is defending the actions of one of his MPs, who NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh called a racist for blocking a New Democrat motion on systemic racism in the RCMP.
Bloc Quebecois leader is calling on NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh to apologize for calling a Bloc MP racist.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is defending Singh, saying he was within his rights yesterday in criticizing MP Alain Therrien.
Therrien did not support Singh's motion to investigate systemic racism in the RCMP.
Singh was then kicked out of the Commons for calling Therrien racist.
Outside the House today, Singh refused to back down.
