Proroguing Parliament costs taxpayers $130,000,000
PM shutting down Parliament is a symptom of a much larger problem
By Dr. Keith Martin, MP
On December 30th, Prime Minister Harper prorogued Parliament without reason for the second time in just over a year. This is an affront to our democratic principles, a gross misuse of the power of his office, wastes the efforts of public servants, MPs and Senators, and is an enormous waste of the taxpayers’ money as all government legislation automatically goes into the garbage can. The total cost to the taxpayer is over $130 million. This act also neutralizes the voices of our citizens…
NOTE: Keith will be speaking at a rally on Saturday against this abuse of our democracy.
