And what are you taking about? The CPC unanimously voted yay with himself abstaining after Trudeau's concession . The motion got defeated as Trudeau already agreed to have Katie Telford testify and conceded not to make the motion a vote of confidence, allowing the NDP to vote against the motion.
Read the motion for yourself and voting

You can litterally see him in the commons that same day demanding a public inquiry

If you are going to question abstain votes from the opposition leader who's party voted unanimous, maybe you should focus that line of questioning to why the Liberal cabinet abstained on the Uyghur genocide vote, especially now in light of knowing that a Liberal MP interfered with the release of the two Michaels. |
Then I guess he shouldn't have abstained from the vote if that's how he really felt, because it's a bad look, especially with that same global article implicating conservative MPs as well. Who said I was ok with the Liberal party abstaining on that vote? I feel exactly the same way about that, it's a bad look for the Liberal party isn't it, especially now. See, it's not all or none as much as you want it to be, I can disagree with what both parties and their leaders do.
The first thing that popped into my head when I saw the headline was that's terrible, there needs to be charges. After reading the story, it seems messy, and we need more information, that applies to Dong's story, and any MP's from any other party. Then I thought it was odd that this came out today after Pierre abstained yesterday, and that it's a bad look. It's also a bad look for the NDP, and the Liberals, all that can be true.
I know that a Liberal MP spoke with China’s consul general. That's all I know. It doesn't make sense for him to ask to delay their release, but it's certainly possible, and if accurate he needs to be charged, and a public inquiry should be done. Dong should also be removed from caucus until this is figured out, and charged if he committed crimes.
