Appointments: Parliamentary Committee

parliamentary committee: OTTAWA The Conservative majority on a parliamentary committee has put the brakes on an NDP motion to look into what they claim are patronage appointments to a new tribunal created to hear social-security claims, according to The Chronicle Herald. But a notice for its upcoming meeting on Tuesday shows the committee will be discussing opportunities for older persons in the workforce instead of the appointments in question and Last week, New Democrat MP Chris Charlton requested that the House of Commons human-resources committee look into several appointees to the Social Security Tribunal with Conservative ties.
