Pro-Palestinian protesters interrupt Trudeau during House of Commons question period
OTTAWA — Pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted question period briefly on Wednesday, interrupting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as he answered a question from Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
A handful of people carried banners and chanted: “free free Palestine, stop arming Israel.”
House of Commons security personnel grabbed the banners and escorted demonstrators out as some kept chanting near the exit.
The Speaker stopped debate for two minutes to allow the chaos to subside before resuming proceedings.
