has been clamoring for the executive branch to give a report on the cross- strait economic cooperation framework agreement (ECFA) before signing it. Now that the executive branch has agreed to come to the legislature to report on the trade pact, why does the DPP refuse to attend? The refusal only highlights the DPP's irrational attitude of opposing for the sake of opposing. Refusing to listen to the briefing is an act of irresponsibility toward voters and an abdication of the DPP's responsibility as an opposition party to monitor the government. We hope all DPP lawmakers will attend and listen to the report on the ECFA and raise questions to let everyone see the party's quality and standards. (Feb. 3, 2010)
