As prime minister, Mark Carney makes Question Period a low priority

When he’s in the House of Commons during the daily 45-minute Question Period, Mark Carney seems to enjoy himself.

While it’s never shown on TV cameras — House of Commons personnel and not broadcasters control the visuals — those in the galleries will often see Carney smiling and joking with members of the opposition, including Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. Judging by his grins and applause, Carney seems to be happy when someone on his side scores a debating point against an opponent.

But enjoy it as he might, Carney is rarely in Question Period.
