The party tends to pounce during the fifth round of daily members’ statements, just before the Tories unleash a similar assault on the opposition (or, more specifically on most days, Justin Trudeau).
For months, the NDP’s fifth-round assault comprised a disturbing tale of corruption and deceit. Conservatives paid off their own senator, Mike Duffy, before throwing him under the bus, they charged.
