Attempts by Ontario's Liberal government to ram through its budget blew up in the legislature today as the Speaker twice lost control of the house during angry opposition heckling.
Speaker Steve Peters was forced to call two 10-minute recesses after the New Democrats pounded their desks so loudly they drowned out questions.
Several Progressive Conservatives joined in the ruckus, asking the Liberals to hold public hearings into the budget.
