OTTAWA — Manitoba Conservative Raquel Dancho was ejected from the House of Commons Thursday after accusing a Liberal MP of lying and refusing to apologize.
The fiery exchange in question period began when Liberal MP Vance Badawey, the parliamentary secretary to the minister of Indigenous Services, said that Conservatives were standing in the way of more testimony at the public safety committee to debate Bill C-21, the Liberals’ gun legislation.
Badawey said Liberal, NDP and Bloc MPs on the committee were proposing more meetings on the bill to allow for more testimony to potentially resolve problems with the bill. The Conservatives, he said, were “part of the problem.”
That remark prompted Dancho to yell “You’re lying.”
