A vote in the House of Commons, where the Liberals voted yes and the Bloc and Greens voted no. No actual discussion of the topic at hand, just instructions on how each party will vote, applied from a previous vote.
“I'm just padding the record to make my party look relevant.”
“I don't want to vote yes. I want my party to vote no.”
