Opposition Leader Pringle Criticises Restrictions After Public Accounts Committee Meeting Postponed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pringle<\/a><\/strong>, who was at Parliament to explain the reasons behind the delay, apologised to the Clerk of Parliament, acknowledging that no official permission had been granted for the group\u2019s presence inside the chamber on the day the meeting was called off.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat Madam Clerk is saying is that no permission was given, and the meeting was postponed, so no one should have been in the gallery of the Parliament,\u201d Pringle said during an interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do apologise to the Clerk of Parliament… We are law-abiding citizens and we will respect the Parliament.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The PAC meeting was postponed due to a lack of quorum and rescheduled for July 3. Pringle said he only learned of the postponement upon arriving at the Parliament building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
