Liberal, NDP MPs disappointed to see long-time Conservative Status of Women chair leave
Liberal and NDP MPs are lamenting the loss of the long-time Conservative chair of the parliamentary committee on the Status of Women , saying they hope the change doesn’t hurt their ability to work together across party lines.
“It’s a real blow,” Damoff said in a recent interview. “I think the Conservative leadership has a lot to answer for. She put her heart and soul into this committee.”Vecchio hasn’t addressed the move publicly. He did not, however, address Vecchio’s absence from Poilievre’s list of critics. She had previously been named the party’s critic in Parliament for issues pertaining to women, gender equality and youth.
Damoff says Vecchio has made strong relationships with women’s groups, women’s shelters and survivors of gender-based violence – the kind of relationships that are built on trust and that aren’t easily made overnight.Lisa Hepfner, another Liberal MP, said she was “devastated” by the change and that “it feels like was thrown under the bus.”
Poilievre has said that he has no intention of reopening the abortion debate. In a French-language interview aired last year, his wife, Anaida Poilievre, said the couple were “pro-choice.”
