OTTAWA—So much for sunny ways! In question period, debate has essentially defaulted to a dialogue of the deaf that allows for little or no reasoned arguments.

All this is unfolding against the backdrop of a procedural war over a clumsy Liberal attempt to tweak some of the rules of the House to the government’s advantage.
