'This is a joke,' Energy and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said.

Liberal ministers and an NDP MP came out swinging Thursday against the Conservatives for what they say has been "circus act" filibustering preventing a pair of bills focused on jobs in the energy sector from coming up for study.

"I'm probably one of the least partisan members in this Chamber, but this is a joke," Wilkinson said."Canadians expect that the different political parties may have different views on some of these things, but they expect that those kinds of conversations will actually happen at committee, not the kind of circus act that seems to be taking place and has been taking place over the last few days," Wilkinson said.

"What the Conservatives are trying to do, is to impede legislation that went through … votes in the House," said Angus. "And what we're seeing now is actually really silly, vindictive, and childish behavior while jobs and our economic future is on the line." In a statement to CTV News, Conservative MP and natural resources critic Shannon Stubbs stood by her party's obstruction of the Liberals' "radical agenda."
