Today in Politics (March 16, 2010) VOTES COMING ON OPPOSITION MOTIONS MPs vote late this afternoon on a pair of opposition motions debated over the past two days. The first, introduced by Liberal Wayne Easter, would end the practice of partisan "ten-percenter" mailings by parliamentarians to other ridings. The motion also calls on the government to reduce advertising expenses, end the hiring of external consultants, and pare back the size of cabinet, the Prime Minister's Office, and the Privy Council Office. The second motion, from Pierre Paquette of the Bloc Québécois, accuses the government of ignoring Quebec's economic, environmental, and social needs in the Speech from the Throne and 2010 Budget.New Democrats are using their opposition day tomorrow to introduce a motion that would limit prorogation to seven days. Parliament’s most recent prorogation lasted 37 days, from Jan. 25 to March 3. The NDP motion reads: “That, in the opinion of the House, the Prime Minister shall not advise the Governor General to prorogue any session of any Parliament for longer than seven calendar days without a specific resolution of this House of Commons to support such a prorogation.” PM GOES VIRAL Prime Minister Stephen Harper will appear on YouTube this evening to answer questions submitted by users. The interview, which begins at 7pm ET / 4pm PT, is an online first for Harper. There were 1,794 questions submitted on everything from marijuana and prorogation to the economy and pensions.-Compiled by Andrew Thomson |
