Kelvin Goertzen

Kelvin Goertzen: 'Dispute on the facts', according to Winnipeg Free Press. Kelvin Goertzen on a point of order : "Mr. Speaker, I mean this issue has just been dealt with, in terms of the request for leave. The house leader for the government Justice Minister Andrew Swan indicated that a response to Tory questions on Bill 2 was drafted yesterday, may have been slipped under the door of night. Certainly, we have the opportunity to read it. If this had been a priority to him, they could've been doing this the last 12 years, and I'm not expecting our critic to have to read something that may have come in in the dark of night and make a decision a couple of hours later. So, if they want to be respectful, they could do that. If they want to play politics, they can do it somewhere else, Mr. Speaker." Brittany Murray THE exchange in the house Thursday after Tory house leader Kelvin Goertzen declined consent for Bill 2 to move into second reading:James Allum, Minister of Education and Advanced Learning: "Mr. Speaker, I just want to say that I regret that the house leader for the Opposition doesn't want to protect roadside, doesn't want to provide roadside protection for construction workers."
