Poll Ranks Weston As One Of The Silent MP's

Look who's talking....or rather, not talking. In a ranking by Samara, an independent charitable organization that studies democracy in Canada, two New Brunswick MPs made the top-ten list of least-talkative representatives on Parliament Hill. 

Keith Ashfield was number one and Rodney Weston placed seventh.....Weston tells CHSJ News he speaks out in other ways.

He says he steps out on many issues so he doesn't think he's silent on any issue and he thinks actions speak louder than words.

Ashfield clocked in with 922 words spoken in 54 days of debate....that's over 225-thousand fewer than chatterbox British Colombia MP Peter Julian whom the study ranked  "most talkative".
