NDP Leader Jack Layton said it would be hypocritical for Harper to ignore the bill if it becomes law.
"I think Mr. Harper is turning his back on what he called for when he was in opposition," Layton said. "He said [then] that the government, particularly in a minority government, had to respect … the democratic will of the House of Commons."
During the last federal election campaign, Harper urged the Senate not to interfere with the "democratic will of the elected House."

REally? Disagree, fine, but....to me that's an effective strategy by Layton. If the Tories can use Dion's/the Liberals own words against them, then why can't other parties do the same to the Tories?
