Mr. Speaker, the minister of national defensiveness is now in his third week of reading a 31-page Federal Court ruling on veterans' pensions. The Conservative House leader, by contrast, has allocated a mere seven sitting days for a 425-page budget bill, a bill which amends over 70 other bills. An appalling seven days for the House to consider clawing back OAS and gutting the environment, with all kinds of time for the minister to read a 31-page ruling on veterans' pension clawbacks. Why is the House leader acting like a parliamentary bully?
In the House of Commons on May 14th, 2012. See this statement in context.
