In a bold, decisive move, the Senate has announced that it’s maybe thinking about considering taking steps to weigh the possibility of temporarily suspending Lynn Beyak without pay, pending a lengthy review of possible next moves.
Beyak has come under fire for posting racist letters to her taxpayer funded website and her defence of residential schools.
“We’re hoping to begin a preliminary review of a larger review of the possibility of establishing an oversight committee that will set up the disciplinary committee that will begin to consider the unpaid but temporary expulsion of Beyak sometime after the next federal election,” said a Senate spokesperson.
“I know this sounds alarmingly fast but we must act quickly given the gravity of this situation, which has been unrolling for the past two years.”
The Senate is expecting to consider a vote on the possibility of an actual vote to begin the preliminary process of making a decision on early steps but not until sometime after July 18, when the cafeteria is serving Scotch broth, which is a favorite dish of members.
