I believe, a lot of these measures never even make it to real debate. They were saying that pretty much anyone gets to bring something to the table (there were 600+ measures or so?) and then they get rid of the ones that aren't very popular. The CBC was reporting in fact that the NDP was trying to become more centrists and get rid of a lot of it's left leaning policies and talk.
This happens with every party, the Conservatives always have someone who brings in the abortion issue and the religion issue, etc. in these big conventions. Doesn't mean anything in the long term usually.
Much ado about nothing.
