| Description | The Parliamentary squabbling continued Thursday after the Liberals brushed aside a motion meant to dismantle the minority government in a matter of weeks.
On Thursday, the Speaker of the House endorsed a Conservative Party effort to hold a vote of confidence in the government by May 18.
The Tory-sponsored motion asked the Commons Finance committee "to recommend that the government resign."
But House Leader Tony Valeri shrugged it off, saying the motion is only a procedural matter that has no binding effect on the government and that the Liberals would not step down from power if it should pass. |
