“Drop off drive-by”: Liberals criticized for quickly tabling Fall Economic Statement, then leaving

Liberal Government House Leader Karina Gould rose during member statements in the House of Commons on Monday to table the Fall Economic Statement. Gould stated in French that she was tabling the budget before dropping the documents and exiting the chamber. Opposition House Leader Andrew Scheer said after the tabling that “at the very least” there should be “ten minutes for questions and comments.” He added that “she ran out before there could be any accountability or scrutiny.” Conservative MP Dan Albas called it a “drop off drive-by.” As some called for House Speaker Greg Fergus to find the Liberals in contempt, Fergus replied that the “difficulty the chair find itself in, is that the motion is a permissive motion.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca/news/10920897/fall-economic-update-chrystia-freeland-exit/ Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Like Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQ Follow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on Instagram HERE: https://bit.ly/2QZaZIB #GlobalNews #parliament #canada
