Through letters to the editor and their website, Tories have been urging people to get out and speak at the committee hearings and guiding them step-by-step through the registration process. Maybe we're just being cynical, but it seems McFadyen and his party are essentially using these people for their own political gains - in this case, to tie up government legislation for so long that it can't be passed into law before the summer break.
