Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was accused of "manhandling" Opposition Whip Gord Brown and elbowing NDP MP Ruth Ellen Brosseau in the House of Commons as MPs gathered for a vote on the government's assisted-dying bill Wednesday afternoon.

In video from the House, Trudeau is seen walking toward Brown in a crowd of MPs in the Commons' aisle, taking his arm in an apparent effort to move Brown towards his seat.

MPs were just about to vote on time allocation for bill C-14, the government's physician-assisted dying legislation.

The prime minister later said he felt Brown was talking too slowly ahead of the vote.
