Contempt of Parliament is described in the House of Commons Procedure and Practice manual as "any conduct which offends the authority or dignity of the House, even though no breach of any specific privilege may have been committed." This offense of obstructing the Parliament and Parliamentary Committees from the carrying out of their functions is what we hope Canadians can clearly see. They failed to see this in 2006, when, in order to avoid an election, they allowed an unethical government engaged in fraudulent practices, evasive techniques, and unscrupulous actions, to continue to govern, by dissolving Parliament and allowing an election.
We have ourselves to blame too.
We sho
uld have taken the former Governor General Rt HON Michaelle Jean to task when she seriously erred and caused the dissolution of the Parliament Committee on Ethics and Access to Information that was investigating the fraudulent funding scheme used by 65 Conservatives in the 2006 election.
Look where our complicity and error has got us now?
How much longer will a compliant Governor General support such practices, techniques and actions?
How many Conservatives will fall on their own swords or take hemlock to protect their leader’s and party’s reputation, before they understand where their leader has taken them?

Join us tomorrow from 1:00 pm to 4:00 p.m. on Parliament HillTake the outrage, right to the source.
Stephen Harper -- the only Prime Minister in Canadian history to be accused of election fraud -- has spent the last five years attacking our democracy. His government has lied to and obstructed Parliament more than any other in history, and he thinks that being attacked for it is just a distraction.
Enough is enough.
Rally for Democracy in Canada -- Unseat Stephen Harper
