Unrest within the Conservative caucus over stiff party control is showing no signs of calming down.
Three more M-Ps stood in the House of Commons to assert their freedom to say what they want in Parliament, without first being vetted by the party leadership.
Charlotte County M-P John Williamson was among those defending the right to speak in the House about anything they wish. Ironically, Williams, who once headed the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, also served as Prime Minister Harper's Communications Director at one time.
The backbenchers have been denounced by other Conservative M-P's as going rogue but they say this is actually a matter about the right of an M-P to represent his or her constituents.

New Date For Inquest Into Death Of Chinese Student
There's a new date for the inquest into the death of 17 year old Yi Fan Wang at the Aquatic Centre in September of 2011.
It will be held from May 21st through the 24th at the Sydney Street Courthouse. It had been scheduled to start on April 8th.
Wang was swimming in the pool with some friends when something happened to him. He was taken out of the swimming pool but died two days later at the Regional Hospital's intensive care unit.
It remains unclear what happened that afternoon which is why the inquest was called to look at the circumstances and come up with recommendations.
