Limited tolerance for debate
Here at Maclean's, we appreciate the written word. And we appreciate you, the reader. We are always looking for ways to create a better user experience for you and wanted to try out a new functionality that provides you with a reading experience in which the words and fonts take centre stage. We believe you'll appreciate the clean, white layout as you read our feature articles. But we don't want to force it on you and it's completely optional. Click "View in Clean Reading Mode" on any article if you want to try it out. Once there, you can click "Go back to regular view" at the top or bottom of the article to return to the regular layout.
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.
