STATEMENT ON THE C-5 'RESOLUTION'

Everything is transactional. The C-5 mess started and is about to end using transactional politics. One question immediately comes to mind - what did the 12 senators vote on? There is not even a committee report out for deliberation on the floor.

While it may be true that a majority of senators can express the sentiment of the Senate as a collegial body, it seems inappropriate to vote on a committee's recommendation that is yet to be routed for signing by its members and presented on the Senate floor.

It is a slap on the face of the chairman of the Committee of the Whole who happens to be the Senate President. It is a mess and an ugly one at that.
