Limited tolerance for debate

Twice today—this morning in regards to C-31, this afternoon in regards to back-to-work legislation for CP Rail—the government passed motions to limit debate.

The New Democrats say this is the 23rd time that the government side has used time allocation or closure to limit debate since the House returned last June.

Young Stephen Harper and Young Jason Kenney would likely be concerned.
