Smith didn't vote for it. She said she would've voted for it, but wasn't there. As I mentioned in another thread on this topic, I am so tired of that cop-out. We saw the same thing on the gay-straight alliance motion, in exactly the same way. The Wildrose voted totally against it and after some backlash some MLAs gave the now tried and true 'I would've voted in favour, alas I wasn't there'.
Frankly if Smith was any kind of leader she not only would be there, she will speak to how important this was for the party and push for its passage. Don't get me wrong as a Wildrose opponent, I think it's fine she skipped it. I just think that missing this was a pretty big deal.
