Liberals Scuttle Public Accounts Meeting
“. . .
NDP House Leader Claudia Chender said she’s disappointed the meeting was cancelled. She said her caucus sent a letter five weeks ago calling for a return to legislative business, and that was met with silence by both the government and the Tories.
. . .
‘From where we sit, there isn’t any any attempt to get it functioning, and that is alarming,’ Chender said.
. . .
Public Accounts is the only committee that has an opposition chair, and Chender said it’s easier for Liberals to avoid meetings of committees chaired by its MLAs.
She noted that the Health Committee hasn’t met a single time in the midst of a public health crisis.
