Tensions boiled over in the House of Assembly Thursday and continued outside the chamber in a shouting match between Elvis Loveless and Lloyd Parrott.
It started in the House when the pair had their speaking privileges revoked by Speaker Paul Lane for arguing back and forth during budget debate.
“I say to both members, you will not be recognized today…don’t even bother to stand and speak.”
But it didn’t end there. NDP MHA Sheilagh O’Leary says the Sergeant at Arms had to get involved when the pair continued to argue after leaving the chamber.
O’Leary called it “frightening.”
“It just kept escalating until finally the both of them stood up and it was frightening, and I don’t frighten easily,” O’Leary told VOCM News. “They went in behind the Speaker, and I thought that security was going to have to be called…I was afraid of violence.”
