OTTAWA — The government has been unable to put any of its own business before the House of Commons for a full week, and the Conservatives on Thursday said that's the result of Liberal"corruption."
The House has been seized with a debate on the motion ever since and Scheer said it will stay that way until the government agrees to hand over the documents to police. Liberal House leader Karina Gould called the request for the documents an abuse of Parliament's power that tramples on the Charter rights of Canadians."Conservative members of Parliament are here for their own political, personal objectives and they don't care what they do to Canadians in the meantime, and that is something that should be extremely alarming to all of us."
A few weeks after opposition parties passed a motion demanding the documents be produced, then-prime minister Stephen Harper prorogued Parliament for several months, preventing the House committee from pursuing the issue. The House has been in a state of almost constant turmoil since the MPs returned to Ottawa in mid-September.
"They are proud to have repeated the same thing that they've repeated 60 times in the last 60 days," he said in French.Among the few votes that have gone ahead this week was a Bloc Québécois motion to push the government to support its pension bill for seniors under the age of 75, a change that would cost more than $3 billion a year.
