MPs might have been mistreated during Israeli visit: Speaker
OTTAWA—The Speaker of the House of Commons says tight security during the recent visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have breached the privileges of MPs.
Andrew Scheer has ruled that an initial examination of the facts suggests there might be legitimate concerns about how the movements of MPs were hampered on Parliament Hill on March 2.
Some MPs said at the time that police prevented them from moving freely around the parliamentary precinct.
Netanyahu’s visit featured exceptionally tight security, including a double row of steel fencing around the Parliament Buildings.
