Conservative finance critic introduces motion calling for the pay to be suspended.
With Justin Trudeau refusing to show up to work even on the few days his own government picked for rare House of Commons sitting, Conservative finance critic Pierre Poilievre is calling for Trudeau’s pay to be suspended until he shows up.
Here’s what Poilievre Tweeted:
“Parliament should suspend Trudeau’s pay until he comes to work.
I introduced a motion to that effect at Finance Committee today.
The chair tried to shut it down. I will bring it back.”

Considering that millions of Canadians are facing serious financial strain amid a devastated economy, it’s only fair for politicians to share in the sacrifice, especially if – like Justin Trudeau – they won’t even show up at work.
