Conservative MP Andrew Scheer on Tuesday told the Commons he cannot figure out why corruption-riddled Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault is allowed to stay in caucus, but the prime minister fired former Minister of Justice Jody Wilson-Raybould.

"While we don't know what it'll take for this guy to get fired by this prime minister, we do know what will get you fired — remember Jody Wilson-Raybould?" asked Scheer.

"Oh yeah!" chorused the Conservatives seated behind him.

"She was fired for telling the truth about the prime minister's attempts to interfere in a criminal case."

Sheer read verbatim a statement from the former attorney general, where she called the Boissonnault disaster a "white people ancestor wheel of fortune."

"A prime minister truly committed to reconciliation would have fired this minister, and the 'other Randy' long ago," read Scheer, quoting Wilson-Raybould.

"How come under this prime minister a strong indigenous woman gets fired for telling the truth, when a weak, fake indigenous man gets to keep his job after lying?" demanded Scheer.
