Conservatives forcing MPs to vote on striking new foreign interference study — CTV News

To do an apparent end run around the Liberal filibuster blocking one study from going ahead, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is forcing MPs to debate and then vote on a motion instructing an opposition-dominated House committee to strike its own review.

Monday is a Conservative opposition day in the House of Commons, allowing the Official Opposition to set the agenda, and Poilievre has picked a motion that, if passed, would have the House of Commons Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee embark on a fresh foreign interference study.

The motion also contains clear instructions that the committee—chaired by Conservative MP John Brassard— call Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's chief of staff Katie Telford to testify under oath, followed by numerous other officials and players believed to have insight surrounding allegations of interference by China in last two federal elections.

Still you property and an asset.

Among the other names the Conservatives are pushing to come testify: Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, authors of the Critical Election Incident Public Protocol reports for the 2019 and 2021 elections James Judd and Morris Rosenberg, respectively, and former Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation officials.

Also on the list: many federal security officials who have already testified and told MPs they are limited in what they can say publicly, current and former ambassadors to China, a panel of past national campaign directors as well as the representatives on the Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections (SITE) task force from each major party.

Trudeau's name is not on the witness list. Guess they’re looking for answers instead of Trudeau-isms…? In order to fit in what would be more than a dozen additional hours of testimony, the motion prescribes that the committee meet at least one extra day each week regardless of whether the House is sitting, and have priority access to House resources.

It remains to be seen how the NDP respond to the motion, with signals being sent that the caucus is still considering its options. The Conservatives and the Bloc wouldn't have the votes to see it pass without them, and over the weekend a number of Conservative MPs were posting about today’s debate, putting the pressure on the NDP to vote with them.

"While this motion is a test for this government, it is also a test for the NDP," said Conservative MP and one of the party's leading spokespeople on the story Michael Cooper, kicking off the debate on Monday.

"The NDP has a choice: They can continue to do the bidding for this corrupt Liberal government, propping up this corrupt prime minister. Or, they can work with us to protect the sanctity of the ballot box and the integrity of our elections by working to get the answers that Canadians deserve... We will soon find out what choice they make," Cooper said.

The New Democrats have been in favour of an as-public-as-possible airing of the facts around interference, including hearing from Telford and other top staffers, as they’ve been pushing for at the Procedure and House Affairs Committee (PROC).That effort though, has been stymied by close to 24 hours of Liberal filibustering preventing the proposal from coming to a vote.

If the New Democrats support Poilievre's motion, it'll pass and spark this new committee study.

But, if the Liberals want to shut this effort down, Trudeau could declare it a confidence motion and tie NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh's hands, unless he's ready to end the confidence-and-supply agreement, which is coming up on its one-year anniversary with many outstanding policy moves Singh is committed to seeing come to fruition.

In weighing whether this is confidence vote-worthy, Trudeau would likely be assessing whether risking an election call over an election interference controversy —which could be the result of a failed confidence vote given the Liberals' minority standing—is the right move.

Trudeau wouldn’t say Friday whether he'll be designating the vote a matter of confidence in his government, but went on at length about how the Conservative motion makes it plainly clear to Canadians that Poilievre's party is "more interested in political theatre than they are in actually getting any sort of real answers." ??????

 

[Taxslave2]

The one from Ontario has stepped down & is sitting as an independent (until he says he's proven innocent). I don't know if he was forced to quit or did it on his own but that's what should be done until this is all cleared up.

Unfortunately, there will likely be no one he can go after for making a false accusation.

I think the solution to all that is the NDP members do not show up to vote. By sticking with TurdOWE, they are putting themselves in a losing situation with many of their supporters. So, if they are not present to vote, they are not breaking the agreement.

That's capitalism.

Stealing from the poor is stupid. They don't have much to steal.

How many people have been fined or imprisoned for disagreeing with the carbon tax or climate change? You "disagree" with them daily. Been indicted yet?

Taken more seriously by whom? The Government that’s in power that China was advocating for? The Non-Opposition Opposition that’s not real opposition in the non-Coalition Coalition that’s propping up the Government that China was advocating for? Combined, they’re the majority NDP/Liberals….

While the NDP and Conservatives obviously don’t agree on much, the parties have typically stayed relatively cordial when sharing the opposition benches against a Liberal government when they are both playing the role of opposition to the government.

OTTAWA — The Liberals once again deflected calls for a public inquiry into foreign interference in Canada’s elections after MP Han Dong resigned from the Liberal caucus over allegations he told a Chinese diplomat to delay the release of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor.

Thursday afternoon, newly independent MP Dong joined opposition parties in passing a “non-binding” NDP motion calling on the government to launch an inquiry into “allegations of foreign interference in Canada’s democratic system,” which would include recent reports the China meddled in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.

Liberal MPs voted against the motion. The Non-binding motion. During question period Thursday, opposition parties “hammered the Liberals on the Dong” allegations and demanded they launch a public inquiry. Hammered the Liberals on the Dong. Just let that sink in.

No more hiding. No more coverup. Open, public, independent inquiry now, says Pierre Poilievre

Trudeau in fact knew how serious the infiltration by China into Canada’s elections and democratic institutions was three years ago, based on a report by a non-partisan committee of MPs and Senators he created in 2017 to advise him on national security issues.

NSICOP gave Trudeau a series of recommendations to combat foreign interference.

Trudeau didn’t even respond to them and he now acknowledges, “We have to do a better job on following up on those recommendations. I fully accept that.”

That’s why an independent public inquiry led by someone approved by Parliament, not appointed by Trudeau, is necessary now.

The NDP motion passed with 172 votes in favour and 149 against.

While non-binding, the vote indicates the will of the majority of voting MPs, raises the pressure on the government and threatens to distract from U.S. President Joe Biden's visit to the capital.

But the Liberals continued to stonewall the request, arguing that they had appointed “special rapporteur” David Johnston to dive into the necessity of an inquiry and report back to Parliament by the end of May.

Singh was asked if he would withdraw his support for the minority Liberals if Trudeau continues to decline to hold a public inquiry? He non-answered that he wants to improve elections and give Canadians confidence, not push Canadians to the polls.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, whose party has a Non-Coalition Coalition with Trudeau, said he hoped the Liberals would vote in favour but wouldn't pull support for the minority government. OK then.

Liberal MPs voted against the motion. The Non-binding motion. During question period Thursday, opposition parties “hammered the Liberals on the Dong” allegations and demanded they launch a public inquiry. Hammered the Liberals on the Dong. Just let that sink in.

Trudeau knew there was a problem with Chinese interference; the Prime Minister’s Office had reports that Chinese money was being funnelled to Liberal candidates in federal elections, national security agencies had warned that Chinese Canadians were being recruited to assist in the distributing illegal donations, and to vote for preferred candidates in nomination races.

But Trudeau’s reaction was to keep silent and keep Canadians in the dark. Why? Maybe Trudeau is a traitorous villain who allowed China to do their worst. But the more obvious explanation from his past actions is that he didn’t think Canadians needed to know. In his arrogance, he almost certainly thought he and his party were not only best to handle it, but that they could learn little from anyone else’s input.

For all Trudeau’s talk about knowing what Canadians want and how Liberals understand what Canadians need, he has shown little appreciation of how Canadians can be trusted.

For Trudeau, Canadians were always first an audience, a kind of sounding board, a mirror to reflect his imagined glory. But Canadians never quite fulfilled that role. The public was always found wanting. The adulation was never enough, and it was never unanimous. At the end of the day, Canadians were never quite good enough for Trudeau.

And another example of where Mr Trudeau was found innocent of ethical wrongdoing unlike the Aga Kahn & SNC Lavalin fiascos:

Let’s fix that . We can not keep any donation from a foreign government once it becomes public .

You’ve already presented a loophole with the “once it becomes public” qualifier….

Governments do donate money to charities, sometimes with their citizens knowledge even.

Trudeau criticized for tweet to Trevor Noah pledging money for cause

Trudeau tweeted to South African comedian and host of “The Daily Show” Trevor Noah that Canada would pledge $50M to Education Cannot Wait.

www.thestar.com

It’s when the donations to the charity are in exchange for access to &/or favours from Government Officials up to & including National Leaders….or even just the appearance of this graft/bribery…that it becomes a political/ethical/Trudeau-ish situation like we’re currently seeing in Canada with the ‘appearance’ of foreign gov’t’s offering remuneration for access to a national leader leading to ‘donations’ to a chosen charity/trust with the fringe benefit of a reciprocal enticement for that foreign government.

Outside of certain entitled circles, that is somehow seen as a bad thing for some reason??? I know it sounds crazy, but it’s true though…I mean Trudeau.
