Speaker makes a non-decision decision.
3:44 Gloria Galloway: Finding common ground will be difficult. There have been asserttions that MPs are not trustworthy enought to be given confidential information, says Mr. Milliken. Those comments are troubling he says and run contrary to the trust that Canadians have put in their elected officials.

3:45 Gloria Galloway: There have also been allegat ions that the government is withholding the documents for self-serving reasons. Those comments are also unhelpful, says Mr. Milliken.

3:46 Gloria Galloway: There are ways to settle this impasse, says Mr. Milliken. He says he will allow Ministers, House Leaders and critics to find a resolution. he has given them two weeks to do so

3:47 Gloria Galloway: Ok, there is no real decision. Mr. Milliken has not said what he will do is a compromise is not obtained.

3:48 Gloria Galloway: He has found that the government is in contempt but has given them two weeks to solve the situation.

3:49 Gloria Galloway: This finding could indeed set off a Parliamentary crisis.

1. Two weeks for Harper to torque up the right wing media?
That doesn't seem to work so well lately. Maybe he will use the 2 weeks to prorogue Parliament again.

2. Prorogue in 13 days they figure.
Or he could shut down early for the 'summer' break. Or, I suppose he could even call an election.

But at the moment, I'll bet he's kicking chairs. :rofl:
