So it wasn’t enough yesterday that NDP MP Peter Julian spent 12 hours at the Commons Committee on International Trade trying to force changes to the softwood lumber deal by staging a one-man day-long filibuster. Nope. When the string finally played out at that committee somewhere around 10 pm last night, Julian popped next door into the House of Commons to support his party’s defence critic Dawn Black in last night’s Committee of Whole debate on defence department spending. Julian looked a little weary but gamely clapped and cheered on Black in the debate’s final hours.
