CTV
On Thursday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with opposition party representatives on the Israel-Hamas war and deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza, multiple sources confirm to CTV News.
With Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre in Nova Scotia, Conservative MP and foreign affairs critic Michael Chong attended for the Official Opposition.
Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh also attended the meeting, which “pushed for a plan to get Canadians stuck in Gaza out,” according to one source with knowledge of the meetings.
The meeting comes four days after Singh sent a letter to Trudeau asking for Canada to call for a ceasefire to the war that started after the Hamas surprise attack on Israel on Oct. 7.
The prime minister has called for "humanitarian pauses" instead, with the hopes of permitting much needed medical supplies and aid to enter Gaza.
