Trudeau swears in Commons, apologizes

Justin Trudeau came under fire yesterday for using foul language in the House of Commons.

The Liberal MP was heard calling Environment Minister Peter Kent a piece of **** during an especially raucous question period.

Kent was being berated by critics in the House for his role in Canada’s withdrawal from the Kyoto Protocol.

The situation escalated when Kent suggested one of his critics should have attended the climate change conference in Durban if she was to criticize his decision.

But the Conservative government banned opposition MPs from attending.

Trudeau apologized for his language later in the day, calling it decidedly unparliamentary.

Trudeau is far from the only MP to drop expletives during this session of the House.

The NDP’s Pat Martin dropped used the f-word in a tweet describing the governments actions this past November.
