| Marie Bountrogianni | Yes | Parliamentary rule has certainly eroded in recent years. The Stephen Harper government is the first government in the history of Canada to have been found in contempt of Parliament by the Speaker of the House of Commons and by Parliament. This ruling came as a result of flagrant lies and dishonesty in the government's statements to the House.
As an MP, I would conduct myself as I did as a provincial Member at Queen's Park: with respect for the rules of Parliament, and for the need for open, honest, and genuinely engaged debate. |
| Stephen E. Brotherston | No | We have voter apathy in Canada. A majority government can be won with less than 25% support from eligible voters. Everything stems from this. |
