Link of the Day: Mark Holland

Mark Holland is the Liberal MP for Ajax-Pickering, as well as the Liberal Opposition Critic for Public Safety and National Security. I keep seeing his name in all the right contexts, and I’m starting to think he might be an MP to watch.

When the Conservatives tried to block an inquiry into G20 policing, it was Holland who maintained that the role the government had played in the summit demanded more scrutiny than the existing reviews would provide.

As the census debate unfolded, it was Holland who led the call for the Conservatives to produce documents at the heart of their decision, after they ignored an order to release them within a five-day period.

And when Marty Cheliak was removed from his post as director of the Canadian Firearms Program, just days before he was set to attend the annual general meeting of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police and unveil a major report on the gun registry, it was Holland who said “I think it’s pretty clear it’s deliberate. This is a pattern. Any time somebody stands up to [the Conservatives], any time they have a differing opinion, they are either fired or moved somewhere where they won’t make as much noise.”

I may not know much about this guy, but I’ve got to tell you, I’m really starting to like him.
