OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will not be allowed to speak in the House of Commons on Tuesday for saying that Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly is pandering to Hamas supporters, said Speaker Greg Fergus.

In a statement, Fergus said that there have been two occasions where Poilievre has not heeded the Speaker’s rulings regarding unparliamentary language. The first time, he was named and, the second time, questions were removed from his party in question period.

The Conservative Leader said on Monday that Joly “continues to pander to Hamas supporters and the Liberal Party as part of her leadership campaign."{ai:summary}<p>Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is barred from speaking in the House of Commons after comments accusing Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly of pandering to Hamas supporters.
