Maclean’s is your home for the daily political theatre that is Question Period, when opposition and government MPs trade barbs and take names for 45 minutes every day. Today, QP runs from 2:15 p.m. until just past 3 p.m. We tell you who to watch, we stream it live, and we liveblog all the action. The whole thing only matters if you participate. Read our morning tease to catch up on the issues of the day, and then chime in on Twitter with #QP.

HOT SEAT

You can bet that the opposition isn’t finished with the Wright-Duffy affair or the broader Senate expenses scandal. They’ll ask the same questions they’ve been asking for weeks: who knew what, and when, about a personal cheque the prime minister’s former chief of staff gave to Senator Mike Duffy to help him pay back improperly claimed expenses? But there’s yet more fodder for the opposition, given the news of charges laid against Saulie Zajdel, a Conservative candidate in the 2011 election and former exempt staffer in Heritage Minister James Moore’s Montreal office, by Quebec’s anti-corruption unit. UPDATE: Moore’s office has officially condemned corruption.
