Freeland accuses opposition MPs of 'bullying' her with filibuster over length of her testimony cdnpoli
We're sitting in this position because a minister of the Crown feels it's an inconvenience to appear before a committee to answer questions
“If the Conservatives really are interested as they should be in the substance of what’s happening in the Canadian economy, I’m happy to answer,” said Freeland. “I was taught as a child in Sunday school, as are many of us, that blessed are the peacemakers,” she said. “As much as I really believe appeasing bullies is a mistake, that’s an important lesson, too.”
Chambers also said Freeland was refusing to answer members’ questions, such as what the government was spending on interest on the debt. Freeland kept on insisting that the answer needed some context, but did not offer a clear number when asked.
