The MLA for Yarmouth has been handed a one-day suspension from the legislature for heckling. Deputy Speaker of the legislature Becky Kent initially suspended Zach Churchill for five days after asking him to apologize to her and to the house of assembly for unparliamentary behaviour. Churchill, who represents the Liberals in the riding of Yarmouth, said the move was heavy-handed and orchestrated by NDP house leader Frank Corbett. Corbett rejected the accusation. Kent later said she had erred in her ruling and reduced the suspension to one day.
