...Senator Marjory LeBreton, along with NDP critic Pat Martin, said yesterday that suggestions from the Liberals that it may take until December for the Senate to properly study the much-anticipated corruption-fighting legislation makes them suspect that the date of the Grit leadership convention in the same month may be playing a role in their slow deliberations. "I hope they are not doing this simply because they are worrying about the date of the Liberal leadership convention because that wouldn't be appropriate," said Ms. LeBreton.

Forcing the Liberals to adopt new donation rules in the middle of their leadership campaign isn’t appropriate either.
