"The Chair is unable to conclude that the member from Markham-Stouffville has been obstructed in the fulfillment of her parliamentary functions. Accordingly, I cannot find that there is a prima facie question of privilege," Regan said in the House of Commons on Thursday.Philpott stood in the House of Commons Tuesday to argue that PM Trudeau had trodden on her rights as a member of Parliament when he expelled from caucus without a vote.
Wilson-Raybould and Philpott were removed by Trudeau last week, with the backing of Liberal MPs who said that the trust between the Liberal team and these two once-prominent faces on Trudeau's front bench had been "broken" over the course of the SNC-Lavalin scandal. Both Philpott and Wilson-Raybould resigned from cabinet amid the controversy.
Philpott argued that Trudeau contravened the Parliament of Canada Act because the Liberal caucus did not hold a vote that was legally required at the beginning of this Parliament to determine how caucus expulsions would be handled, and because he ultimately made the decision to remove them without a caucus vote.
"Expulsion should not be his decision to take unilaterally, however the decision had been already made," Philpott said. The Liberals pushed back, arguing that at the start of this Parliament the Liberal caucus had decided to opt out of adopting this part of the law. Had they adopted it, MPs would be required to vote on whether or not a colleague should be booted from caucus.
Can we now finally move on from the saga of the devious Puglaas and her witless accomplice janephilpott
Cons have nothing to offer so they resort to made up scandals. That’s the party that muzzled scientists folks... and got Canada expelled from the security councel and got the armed forces involved in offensive wars instead of peacekeeping.
Shes just mad because her and her buddy are the ones that were feeding Schrear info, now he sits dormant on the issue because he has no new info gee didnt see that one coming
God damn she got shut down hard (ish)
How low can philpot go. Very childish and proves they want to take down the person that helped them win and gave them such high profile ministries to novice members
Just because the speaker couldn't rule on it doesn't mean that the liberals are following the rules of parliamentary law. But of course, the rules don't apply to JT & the liberal party.

He didn’t shut it down as much as he said he can do nothing about it.
About time , You 'CON's should get a life other than antagonizing Trudeau.
The deep state doing its job.
Civil servants seem to be pretty good at shutting down investigations into Trudeau’s various criminal endeavours - Canada appears to be a dictatorship of the deep state kind
Regan is a liberal_party lapdog for JustinTrudeau, just like DavidLametti and Clerk_GC, some real nasty corrupt actions going on here folks that is corroding our Govt. the AG, the PMO/PCO and the legal system.

Philpott Says Trudeau Violated Rights Of MPs With His Caucus ExpulsionsCLARIFICATION: An earlier tweet and headline on this story described Jane Philpott as saying Trudeau had violated the law with his caucus expulsions. She in fact accused the PM of breaching the Parliament of Canada Act. The headline has been updated. What a picture... I've worked at many places with women like this where, all of a sudden, their personalities flip and become a pain in the ass to interact with. This picture makes me uncomfortable. She needs to move on. Not a good look for sure. It’s getting embarrassing now. Goodbye....you lost confidence.....although not happy with a lot of things with this government...I still prefer this government to any alternative. Especially right wingnuts! You chose your road... we could end up with people associated with THIS thanks to Jane!
