Federal Conservatives say the Liberals are using a pandemic-induced shortage of translators to shut down House of Commons committees when they raise issues that cause the government discomfort.
"The evidence ... is that we are at a breaking point and that we are careening towards a critical failure in the ability to conduct parliamentary proceedings," Richards argued.
"Yet the government has done nothing. Instead, it sits back, folds its arms and takes comfort in the fact that Parliament cannot function fully and hold the government to account."
He said several committees, including finance and the special committee on Canada-China relations, have also been cut short due to a lack of interpreters just as they were "proving uncomfortable for Liberal interests."
