The Right Decision By The Speaker

This is good for Canadian parliamentary politics. After all, the PM is not a King. From Guelphy Mercury news:

This past Tuesday, the Speaker of the House of Commons, Peter Milliken, ruled that the privileges of members had been breached by the government in its refusal to release unredacted documents pertaining to the Afghanistan detainee controversy. Many observers are seeing this as a historic decision. While critically important, the ruling was not precedent setting. Had Milliken ruled in favour of the government, it would have been a precedent. But there was little fear of that. The ruling should have been foreseen by the government from the outset.
