Liberals want to debate, except when they don’t

Liberals are now claiming they want to prevent the government from using time allocation and shutting down debate on any amendments to the Canada Elections Act and the Parliament of Canada Act.

This is quite surprising coming from the Liberal Party, since they have a long record of using time allocation to shut down debate on the Canada Elections Act and the Parliament of Canada Act – on four different occasions, between 1996 and 2003.

Canadians deserve better that the third party pretending to criticize the Conservatives for doing exactly what they did for years.
