Ya, I noticed it too :-(

You know the sad thing is that through a mere coincidence (friend of a friend situation) I know the daughter of the Liberal Candidate that lost to him. He is the only Conservative MP of the GTA. That makes it even harder to endure this.

Debate finished! Vote will happen tomorrow after Question Period.

At least that's what I heard.

It appears motion is rejected (More Nay than Yea). Standing vote tomorrow.

No, it's just that if in doubt the speaker always has to decide in favour of the status quo. So in this case, since the vote was unclear, she had to say "I think the nays have it" which then forces the Liberal MPs to ask for a standing vote.

WOW so the bill is going to be voted without the need of time allocation
Sounds too good to be true. I become more and more optimist about the bill

*Unrelated to c6*
Something like this is usual? Can a bill pass just because most MPs of a party are absent?

So, what is your gut feeling, sir, if the standing vote were to occur? I know you earlier said it's possible but "doesn't mean probable", but I was wondering if your feeling has changed since this discussion just concluded?? Just curious.

Thank you

The possible/probable thing was only about WHEN the vote will happen. That has been fixed minutes ago, it will be tomorrow afternoon.

It was never in question and still isn't: This motion will pass, of course. It is a government motion. And the government majority will vote whatever the Minister told them to. On top of that, the NDP also supports it. The vote will be around 200 versus 100 votes in favour. You can bet on that.
