-- OTTAWA -- Liberal senators are under fire for tinkering with a justice bill passed by elected MPs.But that's just how Iggy and his crew roll... isn't it?
Justice Minister Rob Nicholson accused Grits in the red chamber of "gutting" C-25, the so-called "truth in sentencing" bill that ends two-for-one credit for time served in jail awaiting trial.
Nicholson called on Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff to bring the senators in line and drop the proposal to extend credit for time spent in harsh jail conditions.
