Monday, June 15, 2009: In a meeting of the subcommittee on private members business, opposition MPs Marlene Jennings (Liberal), Christiane Gagnon (Bloc), and Chris Charleton (NDP) try to kill Bill C-391 even though there are no procedural grounds keeping the bill from being votable (see part 1). In the second clip, the opposition realizes that they are not meeting in secret ("in camera") and immediately move to make the meeting secret. In this last clip, MP Scott Reid begins to filibuster the subcommittee meeting to ensure that Bill C-391 is not killed behind closed doors, and with no procedural impediments.

I respect the way Mr. Reid lambasted Mrs. Jennings and her arrogant belief that "she" can break another Member's point of order even though it's a serious error according to House protocol. She's a walking, talking, non-independent thinking Liberal poster child. Imagine the Liberal Party as an ant hill. She'd fit right in. The Queen (Michael Ignatieff) gets an idea and the rest of the worker ants (Jennings) just follow no matter what mindlessly.

Regardless, the Bill had now moved ahead and Canada will be witness to whether or not Liberal MP's will vote for what their constituants want or what the retard running the Liberals wants. If they vote Whipped they will surely lose their seats next election.

Very interesting how the ladies all acted once they realized that the public would get to hear their words and more importantly know their recorded vote. Typical backroom Liberal tactics. Things in Ottawa never change. And now the brainless NDP and Blockheads follow whomever like sheep.
