Conservative MP Rachael Thomas says she will be tabling a motion to denounce the decision by an Ontario school board to remove books through a process called “weeding.” 
The MP for Lethbridge, Alberta, made the remarks during a Sept. 28 meeting of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage, of which she is a member. She called on the committee to affirm its commitment to freedom of speech.
