Conservative Leader Poilievre on Alberta's New Transgender Children Healthcare Policy

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is asked about his party's thoughts on Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's decision to ban surgery and hormone treatments for transgender kids and if he instructed his MPs not to comment on the situation.

Poilievre responds, saying, "The problem is Justin Trudeau and the media have been spreading disinformation to distract from his doubling of housing costs, his quadrupling of the carbon tax, and the crime wave that he's unleashed across the country."

On a follow-up question from the media, Pierre is again asked about his party's stance on Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's decision to ban surgeries and hormone treatments for kids.

Pierre responds, saying, "We stand for common sense, like on everything else. Our approach is to axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget, and stop the crime, and we extend that same common sense to all issues." He adds that it's "time for Justin Trudeau to stop distracting and dividing Canadians, let parents raise kids, and let provinces run schools and hospitals."
