It seems that there is a lot of moving parts to this story and the article reports some eventsand quotes but doesn't really string them together coherently. The Liberal MP that's accused of trying to shift the discussion to abortion rights had some procedural complaints about the way the Conservative meeting chair set up the meeting, and argued that they were changing the topic away from abortion. Is there any merit to that complaint? It's the sort of thing an article needs to address.

Yeah, much as I'm sure the LPC member tried procedural bullshit, it looks like this meeting had enough to go around, on all sides. But yeah, as someone who's started getting involved in this sort of thing, there's a really irritating tendency for established people to play games with procedure in organized committees, so much so that there is, I'm sure, a "How to through a spanner in the works of government For Dummies" that's bought by bureaucratic beetles everywhere.

Note, Michelle Ferreri is my MP. I would expect grandstanding, so I'm sure some of the LPC and NDP members' concerns were not unfounded.

Jfc. I'd expect better from a Liberal MP.
