Conservative government may be in breach of privilege: Milliken

 

The Conservative government may be in breach of privilege. House of Commons Speaker Peter Milliken ruled that after two separate events there is enough evidence to indicate a prima facie breach of privilege.

The first motion complains that the government is refusing to produce information to the House regarding its anti-crime agenda. The other criticizes International Co-operation Minister Bev Oda for having misled a Commons committee. 

Liberal MP Scott Brison says these incidents disrespect Parliament and are an insult to Canadians.
