The Liberals’ governing partner is in a tough spot — accused of setting its own agenda ahead of Canadian democracy.
“I think the Liberal government is failing in its mandate as a government to take seriously the threats that are in front of us,” said Green, who sits on the House of Commons ethics committee studying the allegations.
It’s a lesson the party is applying once again — and it says it’s already seeing signs the tactic is working. “It puts them in a bind, because of course, they are enabling the Liberal government to not call a public inquiry by keeping them in power and refusing to pull their support,” said Karl Bélanger, president of Traxxion Strategies and a former NDP national director.
“For the first time for a lot of these members, who have never been close to governing, they are feeling the vitriol that you get when you govern,” said a senior government source close to the deal.
