OTTAWA — The Opposition Conservatives are calling on the Liberals not to overhaul the makeup of parliamentary committees, which Prime Minister Mark Carney signalled would be coming in the wake of securing a majority.
Conservative House Leader Andrew Scheer appeared before reporters on Thursday to underscore how the membership of committees — bodies where MPs can launch studies into issues and where legislation is sent to be dissected and amended — has up until now been decided through negotiations between the parties based on the most recent election results.
