| the Scouting Report We claim, with genuine admiration, that Cooper is a world-class needler. Her oral questions in the Chamber are usually twice as long as those other MP's are able to get away with, but as she has had a distinguished parliamentary career in advocacy for her constituency, cabinet service, and committee responsibility, Cooper is one of the few MP's who can be forgiven for taking extra time. Whereas others waste time with repetition or grandstanding, Cooper crafts her abundance of words into nuanced questions that demand careful answers. When she does use a question to engage in political showmanship, the question is short, incisive, and effective. |
