Stephen Harper’s government is shutting down debate on its bill to scrap the long-gun registry, making the fifth time in only 35 days it has moved for closure or time allocation on controversial pieces of legislation.
Opposition MPs criticized the government’s move as an “outrageous abuse” of Parliament...
Opposition House Leader Joe Comartin noted that the Conservatives, who had criticized the previous Liberal government’s use of closure and time allocation, are now on course to break their record.
In the 37th Parliament, he said, the Liberals moved to shut down debate nine times over 212 sitting days. This is the fifth time in 35 days that the Tories have done so.
