Report Stage
“This bill spends more money on the military. It will help victims in the military. The provinces should do more to make sure prosecutions work.”
MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
John-Paul Danko
Danko frequently fills his speeches with folksy anecdotes and mentions of his riding, aiming to paint a rosy picture of government spending and economic outlook. He often tries to goad the opposition into saying something politically damaging on the record, while portraying them as cynical and conspiratorial when they criticize. However, he provides little of substance to address the actual issues raised.
