Halifax Regional Police release Dartmouth suspect’s name and photo | SaltWire #news #novascotiaOTTAWA — Conservatives will be challenging House of Commons Speaker Greg Fergus on Wednesday for kicking MP Rachael Thomas out of the chamber even after she withdrew her comments off microphone, the National Post has learned.
“Mr. Speaker, I stated that the Chair is acting in a disgraceful manner. I withdraw,” said Thomas, according to an unofficial transcript of the proceedings on Tuesday., removes the part where Thomas says “I withdraw.” It, however, shows that an unidentified MP shouted that she withdrew her comments after Fergus said that she disregarded his authority.
The second part where she says “I withdraw” is barely audible because it was not picked up by the microphone as Fergus had already started speaking. MPs’ microphones are usually cut when the Speaker is talking to avoid any interference for interpreters.
