Canada election 2021: French-language federal leaders’ debate (English translation) | FULL

Federal party leaders traded barbs on the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccinations during the French language debate on Wednesday, as well as other topics such as the Liberal’s $6-billion child-care deal and reconciliation. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet and Green Party Leader Annamie Paul faced off in the debate from the Museum of Canadian History in Gatineau, Que., just across the river from Parliament Hill. The leaders all agreed that vaccines were important to get past the pandemic, but disagreed on whether to mandate those vaccines for certain workers.
