So who will pair up with the minority liberals to get this passed?# Free vote?# Bring down the government?
(I' like getting my news from CP!)

Svend's cohorts, I'm sure.
I don't think you can bring down the government on this issue. It's not a money bill.

It doesn't have to be a money bill to bring down the government.

Okay. Please explain. . . [/b][/quote]
Money Bills don't automatically bring the gov't down (as seen by the GG's budget getting cut by 10% the other day).
Only votes of confidence bring the gov't down. These are usually big bills that the gov't thinks are central to its ability to governen. Those kinds of bills are usually the budget, throne speech and various other bills that they declare "motions of confidence in the government" and these are usually main ideas they have outlined in the throne speech or other places.....
The Lib's have already lost 2 or 3 (can't remember exactly) bills this session...including the GG's budget one which was a pretty major, symbolic cut by the opposition.
