Just when you think Parliament has degraded itself to the utmost, something brand new and horrible comes along: On Wednesday, <a data-evt-val="{&quot;control_fields&quot;: {&quot;mparticle&quot;: {&quot;keys&quot;: {&quot;click_source_type&quot;: &quot;click_source_type&quot;, &quot;anchor_text&quot;: &quot;anchor_text&quot;, &quot;target_url&quot;: &quot;target_url&quot;, &quot;layout_section&quot;: &quot;layout_section&quot;}, &quot;mp_event_type&quot;: &quot;Navigation&quot;, &quot;extra_keys&quot;: [&quot;click_vertical_position_percentage&quot;, &quot;click_vertical_position_pixels&quot;]}}, &quot;click_source_type&quot;: &quot;in-page link&quot;, &quot;anchor_text&quot;: &quot;the House of Commons status of women committee chased two invited witnesses out of the Wellington Building in tears&quot;, &quot;target_url&quot;: &quot;https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/witnesses-storm-out-as-house-committee-meeting-descends-into-chaos&quot;, &quot;layout_section&quot;: &quot;in-page-link&quot;}" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-evt="click" data-evt-typ="click" href="https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/witnesses-storm-out-as-house-committee-meeting-descends-into-chaos" target="_blank">the House of Commons status of women committee chased two invited witnesses out of the Wellington Building in tears</a>, after a meeting about intimate partner violence and how the criminal justice system treats it suddenly veered off into a pathetic tangent about abortion.
