Konservative sind besorgt über Veränderungen in den Ausschüssen des Unterhauses

> The Official Opposition Conservatives are denouncing the federal government’s plans to give Liberal MPs control of House of Commons committees now that they have a majority.

What’s the point of having a majority if, among other things, you don’t have control of committees?

I guess 2011 was a long time ago and the CPC forget what a majority government entails lol

Now is not the right time to complain about this. They should wait until there’s a scandal and the committee with oversight disgracefully shuts down attempts at an investigation. Until then, it looks like sour grapes.

The CPC used the minority parliament to obstruct passage of bills like the strong border bill and bail and sentencing reform bill and to create news and social media narratives rather than acting in good faith, proposing amendments etc….

“Make no mistake, this is a minority Parliament, and in that scenario, the opposition parties have the ability to hold up government legislation. Responsible opposition parties do that in a responsible way to offer alternatives and present reasoned arguments,” he said.

“But for the last three months, the Conservatives have adopted and executed a clear political strategy that is self serving and selfish. Their partisan strategy is simple, ‘obstruct, obstruct, obstruct, obstruct’ debates and votes in the House of Commons, and play silly games in committees to block the advancement of government legislation.”

“An internal Conservative party strategy document viewed by the Star shows how the party uses parliamentary committee meetings to maximize social media opportunities ….

“A “tor­ture cham­ber” for the gov­ern­ment.

“Social media con­tent gen­er­at­ors.”

A way to “delay” and “derail” the gov­ern­ment’s agenda and pri­or­it­ies.

That’s a win­dow into how the fed­eral Con­ser­vat­ives view par­lia­ment­ary com­mit­tees, accord­ing to internal present­a­tion slides obtained by the Star that offer a rare look inside party strategy.

“It’s all about using (com­mit­tee) mater­ial and using the work of Par­lia­ment for entirely par­tisan pur­poses. So it just goes to show we’re at a point now where — it’s kind of sad to say this, espe­cially dur­ing an elec­tion period — it’s all about win­ning. It’s all about the parties,” said Lori Turn­bull, a polit­ical sci­ence pro­fessor at Dal­housie Uni­versity.

Hilarious, under Harper they’d vote to move in-camera and do shit behind closed doors so there would be no record.
