Liberal MP Anita Vandenbeld fell short of an apology today after instigating a fracas that led two witnesses to storm out of a parliamentary committee hearing.

Probably only regrets in because it makes the Liberals look bad.

She insisted that she cares about survivors’ stories, and outlined some of the actions the federal government has taken to address violence against women.

But rather than pivoting back to the topic of violence against women after airing that complaint, Vandenbeld called for a debate on a motion related to abortion rights – an issue the Liberals have tried to pin the Conservatives down on for months.

playing the same tactics as the conservatives is not the answer to solving anything.

Ignoring the domestic violence survivors and witnesses by playing politics is a disgrace to all Canadians

Anita Vandenbeld should consider stepping down
