If the Liberals are trying to bait the opposition parties into finding the government in contempt of Parliament and thereby sparking an election, they are doing a fine job.
It would be hard to conceive a more convincing display of disrespect toward open government than Pablo Rodriguez’s performance before the ethics committee on Monday, where the Government House Leader recited the Three Graces of rebuttal – “no”, “not that I know of” and “I don’t think so” – to every question put to him.
Members of all three opposition parties expressed their frustration at a Liberal Party that is blatantly disregarding the will of Parliament (the House of Commons backed a Conservative motion requiring ministerial staff to appear at any committee – a motion the Liberals say they will ignore.)
