Parliament Stalemate Over Green Fund Documents Halts Government Business

A dispute between the Liberals and Conservatives over document disclosure has stalled legislative progress in the House of Commons.

  • Conservatives demand unredacted documents related to the defunct Sustainable Development Technology Canada, citing alleged misuse of funds.
  • Speaker Greg Fergus ruled that the government has not fully complied with the House's order to produce documents for the RCMP.
  • The Liberals argue that handing over documents to the RCMP blurs the separation between Parliament and law enforcement.
  • Government legislative activity, including a vote on tax reform, has been put on hold due to the ongoing procedural deadlock.
  • The Conservatives have attempted to topple the minority government through non-confidence motions, which have so far failed.
