During question period at the House of Commons on Tuesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was grilled over the details of his week-long family vacation in Jamaica over the winter holidays, which cost taxpayers at least $162,000.

After information about his vacation was released last month, Trudeau faced renewed scrutiny following media reports that the family allegedly stayed at a luxurious estate belonging to a wealthy family friend who once made a large donation to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation two years ago.

“The leader of the opposition struggles with the concept of friendship, Mr. Speaker. My father was godfather to one of their kids, their father was godfather to one of my brothers. This is 50 years of friendship… but of course we work with the ethics commissioner to make sure everything, all the rules were followed,” Trudeau said in response to attacks by opposition leader Pierre Poilievre.

Trudeau and Poilievre also went head-to-head on a number of issues, ranging from the Conservative leader’s recent classification of CBC as government-affiliated media on social media to continued allegations of foreign election interference in the form of donations to the Trudeau Foundation.
