Liberal MP Breaks Ranks On Wage Bill Controversy
Liberal back bencher Maurice Dionne vowed to oppose the wage-restraint bill unless the retroactive rollback of MPs staff pay is withdrawn. He condemned the 11 to 6 percent cut and urged removing the announced reductions affecting about 2,400 staff and exempt workers.
