(I don't have a problem with Parliamentary Privilege)<br /><br />My concern is the abuse of the privilege regarding the national airing of the personal failures (poor judgement) by ex CPC MP.<br /><br />Revisiting Mulroney witchunt 20 years later was for the cameras and not for getting the truth.<br /><br />The questions, statements on his DUI, plea bargain should NOT have parliamentary privilege and each MP should repeat those statements without libel defamation protection.<br /><br />The influence peddling questions, I have NO problem with tough questions and protection of privilege. (That is the issue to investigate).<br /><br />The silly stuff of use of gov't property is another minor distraction. (How many spouses have were dropped off, checked an email, attended a function chatted up gov't official at a social function) -that NET is too vague.CanadianSensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01010880162544507668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7723107545282807528.post-23415334451020781962010-04-23T18:49:23.665-04:002010-04-23T18:49:23.665-04:00Parliamentary privilege to say anything they want ...Parliamentary privilege to say anything they want in front of the cameras, so that the media can use those quotes in a story. This has to stop. No more parliamentary privilege, voters don't have it, why should MP's be able to say anything they want to without fear of a lawsuit?hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14180857240945765697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7723107545282807528.post-83447022315208616222010-04-23T16:47:47.687-04:002010-04-23T16:47:47.687-04:00My concerns was due process, rule of law and hidin...My concerns was due process, rule of law and hiding behind parliamentary privilege in making allegations.<br /><br />It does not seem fair or balanced. <br /><br />The comments against Mary Dawson seem very criticial of her office and her job. <br /><br />How does this measure up with the media depiction of Colvins' criticism?CanadianSensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01010880162544507668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7723107545282807528.post-33625561932915089742010-04-23T15:54:44.287-04:002010-04-23T15:54:44.287-04:00The slimy OPPS can't fathom the reality that t...The slimy OPPS can't fathom the reality that they indeed are travelling the road of a 'Witch Hunt'. The optics are intolerable and the irony as your examples clearly demonstrate are that these pyre builders are as, if not more, intolerant in their specific ideology because they simply won't address their hypocrisy. <br /><br />However they clearly only have openness and tolerance for their ilk of which their latest duo of conservative victims, don't fit.<br />So as usual, if someone dares disagree with their request for a continued demonization, that individual must be be unable to navigate accurately through their idea of FACTS. <br />So typical of these parliamentary witch hunters.Bechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16197428781361903395noreply@blogger.com
