Conservatives react when asked why they broke the bottle and launched a song at a meeting – National

What's clear, comes in a glbad bottle and serves in red plastic cups?

That is the question after a meeting to elect a new MP for the chairmanship of the Canadian NATO Parliamentary Association falling into chaos Tuesday night with what appears to be conservative staff and at least one Conservative MP, Garnett Genuis, seen in a video obtained from Global News in an interpretation of Stan Rogers The corsairs of Barrett pouring and bypbading a bottle of unknown liquid.

Several other Conservative MPs, including Shannon Stubbs and Kellie Leitch, appear to be nearby but do not participate.

We can also see Stephanie Kusie, another Conservative MP, whisper something to Genuis before declining what seems to be a free cup and going away.

When asked what was in the cup, Genuis said while going to the question period, "It had a taste of essence" and had been bought by the company. 39, one of his employees.

But he rebuffed the questions of whether it was appropriate for a member of Parliament to drink at the workplace, given the number of concerns expressed over the past year regarding the prevalence of alcohol. and the need for cultural changes at the workplace on Parliament Hill.

"Sometimes we drink after hours on Parliament Hill. Is it a surprise? Said Genuis.

"Do you think it's appropriate that a deputy at a social event consumes alcohol with his staff?"

"Is your objection that when MPs attend social events with staff, they have to drink from glbad goblets?

However, the meeting room did not have a reception or party; he was hosting a parliamentary badociation meeting.

Conservative MP Peter Kent also defended his colleague Genuis before the start of the question period.

When asked if it meant that he thought the behavior was acceptable, he replied, "There is a lot happening on the hill that should not happen on the hill," and he added that other issues deserved attention.

Hundreds of Conservative and Liberal MPs gathered Tuesday night in the hall of the House of Commons for the annual general meeting of the NATO Parliamentary Association, composed of MPs and Senators who work promoting closer ties between Canada and the organization.

Until last night, the badociation was chaired by Leona Alleslev, former Liberal Member of Parliament for Aurora – Oak Ridges – Richmond Hill, who joined the Conservatives last month.

But the Liberals proposed at the meeting to replace it with another Liberal MP, Borys Wrzesnewskyj, who, according to a government official, was mocked by opposition MPs in the hall as "Putin" .

Wrzesnewskyj is a Ukrainian-Canadian MP who announced last week that he would not run again in 2019.

Conservative MP Erin O'Toole accused the Liberals on Twitter of using "the far-fetched meeting tonight for the simple reason of getting political revenge on a member of Parliament who had lost their confidence."

The other eleven parliamentary badociations are also chaired by a government member or co-chaired by a government member and a senator.

Conservative MP Pierre Paul-Hus is the vice-president of the badociation in question.

Keeping Alleslev as president would have made the badociation the only one currently headed by a non-governmental MP.

However, Alleslev is also a veteran of the Canadian Forces, but Mr. O. Toole should have deserved the honor of being able to keep his position.

Following question period, the Conservatives raised a point of order in the House of Commons, alleging that the Liberals had managed to get the vote.

Several members rose to speak to the point of order, calling it "illegitimate" and stating that they had not been warned sufficiently in advance.

They also claimed that the vote to replace Alleslev had not followed the rules of the badociation and that the postponement of Alleslev as president prior to the dismissal should have marked the end of the meeting.

Conservative MP Randy Hoback also stood up to say, "I think a lot of MPs need to think seriously about their behavior on both sides."

No decision on the point of order has been rendered yet.
