The federal Conservatives resumed their filibuster of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s budget bill on May 25, with MPs seeking more testimony from relevant witnesses, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

“I don’t know why these Liberals want to make things so difficult for Canadians just to simply get the facts and understand the reality of the budget. It’s almost as if they are allergic to transparency," said Conservative MP Philip Lawrence.
