The Bloq had already said they would support the budget. The Liberals and NDP could have voted against it with the same result.

Personally, I find this completely hilarious. As others have said, someone on the opposition needs to know the rules.

That said, could you imagine the outcry if something like this happened on the third reading of a bill to, say, redefine marriage back to it's traditional meaning?
