Who will end the debate? Political gridlock continues in the House of Commons

Federal political parties appear to be locked in a game of chicken in an increasingly precarious Parliament over a debate that has stalled almost all business in the House of Commons.

The Conservatives have vowed the debate will continue until the Liberals hand over to the RCMP unredacted documents about a green-tech foundation that was found to have misspent government money.

The debate has now stretched into its second week.

«I could sit down right now and everything would be done, if they just gave the documents,» Conservative MP Kyle Seeback said in the House of Commons Monday.

«The Liberals could end this entire thing.»

The Speaker ruled last week that the Liberals did not comply with an order from the House to hand over the documents related to the green-technology foundation, known as Sustainable Development Technology Canada.

The foundation was abolished after the auditor general found dozens of cases of conflict of interest and several cases of money going to ineligible projects this summer.

But House Speaker Greg Fergus also said the issue is complicated and should be studied at committee, and the government maintains it should not provide documents to police.

The Liberals could put forward a motion to end the debate, but they would need the support of another party to force the House to move onto other business.

The Conservatives are poised to make the documents a possible focus of their next attempt to topple to the House and trigger an election.

On Friday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre gave notice that he plans to put forward another non-confidence motion.
