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. Once a week, we’ll feature a guest blogger to sort through the madness. 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

Prime Minister Stephen Harper will likely take his seat in the House of Commons during Question Period. NDP Leader Tom Mulcair has been relishing the opportunity to question the PM about the conduct of his former chief of staff, Nigel Wright, with respect to a personal cheque he gave Senator Mike Duffy to repay improperly claimed expenses. Expect Mulcair to pursue that line of questioning, and Harper to respond.
