“If these changes pass, the Liberals will keep stalling committee meetings. They will use these rules to block witnesses and stop investigations into their wrongdoing, just like they did with the PrescribeIT program.”
“Mr. Speaker, I would agree. Liberal arrogance is on full display. I can put a marker down now that over the course of the coming weeks, months and years, however long this Parliament goes on, if these changes go into effect, we are going to see a number of filibusters and a number of attempts at committee to shut down investigations, shut down witnesses and shut down other things. We have seen it, for example, with the $300-million PrescribeIT program. The Liberals at the health committee, for weeks, have been filibustering all of that. We are going to look forward, and I am going to pin-mark this conversation, this thought, here tonight: the number of times we are going to see filibusters in an attempt to shut down debate or to vote down debate and vote down investigations into their corruption and wrongdoing.”
