To say things got a little heated in the Legislature this afternoon would be an understatement. During question period, Rothesay Conservative MLA Margaret Ann Blaney was flipped the bird by Saint John Lancaster MLA Abel Leblanc. The session was just finishing when the half peace sign was noticed by members of the opposition. MLA and Government House Leader Greg Byrne then stood up addressed the members assuring them the issue would be addressed as a caucus and respect is a must for all members.
Leblanc then stood up and told the Legislature he would not apologize to Blaney and confirmed he did flip here the bird. He then doubled up his fist and challenged any member of the opposition to meet him outside of the Legislature and to never laugh at him calling one member a punk.
