Opposition considering Censure of the Tories

Censure Tories over detainee handling, MPs urged - thestar.com
Excerpt:

Mendes, one of the country’s top constitutional scholars, said
Parliament’s power exceeds that of the various national security laws
that have been used to censor government memos and diplomatic cables
describing who was warned about possible war crimes violations going
back to early 2006, when Canadian soldiers moved to Kandahar province.



That leaves MPs with two paths forward: they can ask the Supreme
Court of Canada to rule on their right to access the information, a
process that could take years; or they can invoke a rarely used power to
censure, expel and even imprison any member of the House of Commons for
contempt.


I say, throw Harper and his gang of crooks in jail so parliament can get on with its work.
