QP underway. Bergen starts off on vaccine mandates with no targets for end; suggests PM likes the restrictions that a "growing number of his MPs" disagree with (personally have not heard of any since Lightbound).

Trudeau says Tories have "refusal to listen to science" and cites members of Conservative caucus not vaccinated.

Bergen also misspoke, saying "Dr. Ham — Doctor Tam, Doctor Henry"… happens to the best of us, but it did have a few chuckles on each side of House.

In heckling Trudeau, Hoback calls out "resign" while Brassard is yelling PM "lied about it" (mandates) even though House rules bar accusing another MP of lying.

This seems to align with Holland's leaked briefing notes to caucus: nationalpost.com/news/politics/…

I stand corrected!

MPs heckling Singh (who is zooming in) about trucker protest in Coutts by asking whether his brother-in-law (who donated $13K to the GoFundMe) is in the crowd

Ellis laments Trudeau calling last fall’s snap election. Trudeau responds but heckles have Speaker intervene, during which PM points at Ellis (who was elected last fall) and sys off-mic: “He can only do his job because of the election”

O’Toole and Lightbound’s seats remain empty, is Robillard’s

Steinley asks justification for a proposed domestic trucking mandate (part of ongoing consultations). Trudeau replies science not blockades is how to deal with science but entirely evades the Q of what the evidence is. Tories feigned laughter when Trudeau said he follows science

Speaker has Glen Motz apologize for saying PM is lying. Motz reluctantly does but argues Trudeau has facts wrong on gun regulations; Speaker does not want to hear it and Calkins is calling over “Glen! Glen!” to prevent him from getting booted from House

PM left to jeers from opposition benches (which often happens, this time after QP was finished) and he turned at door to wave which incensed a few

Poilievre is in the House but has been quiet

Gerretsen is lecturing some of the Conservatives on how to wear a mask and some of his fellow Liberal MPs are engaging while two appear unamused
