Rothesay
Senator John Wallace arguing against his own party's motion in the
Senate to limit debate on whether to suspend Senators Mike Duffy, Pamela
Wallin and Patrick Brazeau.
The motion passed, nonetheless, meaning there will be a final vote today.
Wallace
along with his fellow Conservative Senators Hugh Segal and Nancy Ruth
voted against. Wallace telling the Senate, limiting debate “would be a
serious and significant shortcoming of natural justice”.
Wallace,
Segal and Ruth argue cutting off debate would not afford the three
senators at the heart of the spending scandal the opportunity to
adequately defend themselves.
