Conservative senators trying to 'undermine' Canada's relationship with U.S.: Harder
Three Conservative senators who travelled to the U.S. to speak with federal government officials about Canada's plans to legalize recreational marijuana use are trying to undermine the relationship between Ottawa and Washington, says the federal Liberals' representative in the Senate.
Calling the trio's discussion with U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions "highly unusual," Sen. Peter Harder criticized Senators Claude Carignan, Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu and Denise Batters over their recent D.C. visit.
"The senators who undertook this visit do not speak for Canada," he said in an email to CBC News.
"I regret that this includes meeting with American cabinet officials in an effort to undermine the government of Canada's relationship with the American administration."
