Das Leitungsgremium des Repräsentantenhauses stellt die parlamentarische Finanzierung der NDP wieder her

Interesting that it was unanimous.

The Board of Internal Economy is the most partisan „non-partisan“ body in Parliament. It’s membership includes the Speaker (OK, non partisan), the Government House Leader, Deputy House Leader, and Chief Whip, the Official Opposition House Leader and Chief Whip, and the Bloc’s Chief Whip.

The idea that these people, the deputies who explicitly are there to manage the partisan side of House business, would take any action without the approval of their Party leaders is not possible.

So all the other parties agreed to part with some of their resources to ensure that the NDP has at least basic levels of staffing support for research, legislative drafting, and speech writing. Probably not a *lot*, but enough for six MPs to work with.

This does not fit with the narratives of bad faith hyper-partisanship that are so popular on Reddit these days, or in Question Period.

Of course, from a Liberal perspective, its easy to be magnanimous to an opponent you no longer need fear in the face of a majority and control of committees.
