Lisa Raitt – who has been extremely effective in demanding answers for Canadians during the PMO SNC-Lavalin Scandal hearings – is slamming the Liberal members of the Committee who tried shutting it down.
She made the comments in a series of Tweets:

“Each member has signed their name and individually will be accountable to their constituents and to their profession.”
Now the only group asking the questions that Canadians want answered is being shut down by the Liberal Majority.
