Mr. Speaker, this weekend a leaked letter from the Prime Minister divulged that he ordered his caucus to let the Senate's request for a 6% increase pass without resistance. The Liberal sheep will probably comply.
This is only the latest in a long string of anti-democratic dictates by this Prime Minister. For example, in the last two weeks alone the number of times this government has closed down debate has reached 49. The Prime Minister ordered his MPs to vote against a motion that would quickly end child pornography in British Columbia. Today he will probably order his MPs to vote against the bill that would correct the injustice of higher taxation for families with one stay at home parent.
What is wrong with this picture? What is wrong is that the Prime Minister considers Liberal MPs to be his MPs and not the representatives of the constituents they are supposed to represent. What do the Liberal MPs do about it? Nothing. After all, it is only the democracy of this country that is being threatened and being destroyed. Obviously they do not believe that is worth fighting for.
