OTTAWA, June 10 (LSN) – On Monday night, Reform MPs managed to pass a motion stripping the Liberal government of its power to invoke “closure” to shut down parliamentary debate. They intended the measure to send a message to the Liberals, none of whom was present in the House at the time. It will allow opposition MPs the opportunity to prolong debate on government business. The Government has threatened to force the House to remain in session until 4 a.m. June 23, to break the “filibuster” tactic.
