Total 118 (SIX of which are Liberals) out of a possible 151

The government only has 156 MPs plus one not sure (Nunziata). In this instance with the six voting against the government there would have been a vote of 145 against the 137 and Bill C-78 would have been history!

Why are Opposition Parties Pairing? Note that it is the wanna-be Opposition, (or do they wanna be Liberals?) the Bloc, that is always Pairing with the government Liberals!!!!

The Speaker: AI declare the motion carried@. (The Bill read the third time and passed)

Now to take a look at the abstainers, who obviously agreed with the government's theft of our retirement savings. If they didn't agree they would have made every effort to be present to vote against the Bill and not either hiding in their offices (under a rock?) or conveniently arranged to be out of Ottawa.

This list is being republished prior to the election so that you can evaluate the value of the person who wants to represent you.
