Then:
A number of Conservative Party workers refused to appear this week before the House of Commons ethics committee, which is probing $1-million in transfers between Conservative headquarters and local campaigns two years ago.
The Tory no-shows increased the chaotic nature of the proceedings and fuelled opposition attacks against the Harper government. But Conservative MPs argue the committee is biased and is ruled by a “tyranny of the majority.”
I'm sure you see where I'm going with this.

So exactly what is the big deal?
A number of Alaska state employees refused to appear for the Troopergate investigation. There's a difference?
The Conservatives should shut up permanently after their disgraceful behaviour in that committee.
It was the only I girded my loins sufficiently to watch for any length of time. But whenever I watched committees any other time, even briefly, it was always very similar. Lil' bezerkers making Parliament impossible.
As Michelle Malkin said: "Intern. Them. All."
I swear I read this as "tranny".
That's only if the New Conservatives win a majority, Sheena.
As Michelle Malkin said: "Intern. Them. All."
I thought Bill Clinton said that, Ti-Guy...
No, Bill Clinton said " All them interns...whooeeee!"
or words to that effect.
Steverino decided to call this election because "parliament wasn't working" --I wonder why that is...
In the US if you refuse to testify when subpoenaed by congress they can nail you for contempt of congress - no trial or anything just go straight to jail, do not collect $200 etc etc -- don't parliamentary committees have any similar powers to compel people to testify?
Yes. And they're apparently just as spineless about enforcing things here as in the us.
