Ticking clock looms over parliament
My column this week on Loonie Politics looks at the limited amount of time left in Parliament before they rise for the summer, the heavy workload before them, and the fact that the government can attempt to game the calendar to ensure that contentious bills – like an upcoming omnibus budget bill – won't get adequate scrutiny because there simply won't be time, which is a problem for democracy.
