Tensions were high in the room on Wednesday after an audience member asked a question about Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's security clearance.
The format of the debate was a 30-minute question-and-answer period, where members of the public could direct their inquiries to any or all of the candidates.
Liberal incumbent Terry Sheehan was joined at the table by Robyn Kiki Eshkibok of the Green Party of Canada, New Democratic Party candidate Laura Mayer, and James Collins of the Christian Heritage Party of Canada.
Conservative candidate Hugh Stevenson — whose campaign office is directly across the street from the Legion building — did not attend this or any other debate so far during the federal election campaign.
