OTTAWA – Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre is set to begin what he's promising will be a "marathon speech" filibustering debate on the 2019 budget, over the SNC-Lavalin scandal.
He said that he is prepared to continue speaking until the Liberals agree to Conservatives' call to re-open the House Justice Committee study on the matter. The rules of the House of Commons allows for up to four days of debate on the budget itself, and this takes precedence over all other business until this debate concludes. There is a provision that allows the first speaker for the Opposition to speak for an unlimited amount of time.
