Mr. Speaker, the student complainants will have no one sitting at counsel table at the APEC inquiry.
Taxpayers are shelling out for at least three lawyers to protect the Prime Minister's interests at this inquiry, even though he is not a witness nor under subpoena.
Pepper sprayed students have been denied this request. The commission itself, the member for Vancouver Quadra and the Liberals' own B.C. wing have urged the Prime Minister to do the right thing.
Why does the Prime Minister get a blank cheque for his legal team at this inquiry while the students themselves get blanked?
