Internal Economy Committee: Standing Senate Committee On Internal Economy

Conservative Senator Marjory LeBreton Dept: In an interview airing on Radio's The House, Conservative Senator Marjory LeBreton told host Evan Solomon she has asked the standing committee also known as the Internal Economy Committee to look into the number of days senators are allowed to miss and whether they ought to justify their absence, in light of what she called the "inappropriate" behaviour displayed by Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau, according to CBC. "It is unfortunate. It doesn't help the Senate." The government leader in the Senate has asked the Standing Senate Committee on Internal Economy, Budgets and Administration for a review of the rules about attendance in the upper chamber, days after Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau lashed out at a journalist who revealed he had the poorest attendance record for this session of Parliament. "I'm not going to gild the lily here," said LeBreton. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
