When the going gets tough (II)

The Prime Minister’s Office reports that rumours of Parliament’s demise are “not grounded in any fact.”

Andrew MacDougall, a spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper, brushed it off as the rumor mill at work, saying “we don’t speculate on that stuff, on what the government might or might not do.” “It’s just a rumor, it’s not grounded in any fact,” MacDougall told Dow Jones. “The government has work to do, it has work to do in Parliament.”
