Conservative MP Scott Reid called out the prime minister for breaking a no-food rule in the House of Commons Wednesday.
OTTAWA — There was a teachable moment in the House of Commons Wednesday after Conservative MP Scott Reid accused the prime minister of sneaking a bagel under his desk. Rules state members"may refresh themselves with glasses of water during debate, but the consumption of any other beverage or food is not allowed."Reid, a longtime Tory MP, also called out the defence and heritage ministers for the same violation.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rose to admit to breaching the no-food rule, but said the item wasn't a baked good."It was a chocolate bar. I apologize," he said. Montreal Liberal MP Anthony Housefather chimed in on social media to share his disappointment that the snack Trudeau snuck in was a confection and not one of his city's wood-fired bagels.
