On May 18, before a vote on legislation related to assisted death, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau incited a fracas with other MPs in the House of Commons. Trudeau strode forward purposefully, wading through a small crowd of MPs to grab opposition whip Gord Brownâs arm while, according to NDP MP Tracey Ramsey, swearing. As he would attempt to explain later, Trudeau tried to âassistâ Brown to his seat for the vote. Brown did not find his assistance welcome and, in the crowd of bodies, Trudeau inadvertently elbowed NDP MP Ruth Ellen Brosseau in the chest. The episode devolved into a shouting match, with Thomas Mulcair calling Trudeau âpathetic.â Afterwards, opposition MPs lambasted the Prime Minister.
