QP Live: When the NDP got riled up about the Senate

Join us for your daily dose of political theatre. Tweet about the madness at #QP.

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

Prime Minister Stephen Harper would be under the gun in the House of Commons, but he’s off to Brussels to ink a free-trade deal with the European Union. In his stead, a senior cabinet minister—Industry Minister James Moore?—will defend the government against opposition attacks on the Senate expense scandal, the information commissioner’s scathing report into access to information, and yesterday’s Speech from the Throne. The headline-maker: The NDP wants the House to investigate whether or not Harper misled Parliament in the spring.
