Parliamentary votes aren't binding unless they have a vote of confidence attached (see the Uyghur genocide vote for which the Liberals cabinet abstained). They can vote on making GioforPM
The role "rapporteur" was made up by Trudeau. It has never been used at any point in Canadian history.
A vote at least sets the tone that Canadians want answers on this and the Johnston charade needs to be eliminated, but now Johnston and Trudeau's response was effectively "LOL make me".
This is where Singh comes in. He does have the ability to rescind his support for the Liberals as a result of this which would all but assure an election unless Trudeau balks on the inquiry, but Singh continues be all bark and no bite.
Unfortunately NPD has have just blocked a vote which would have had Johnston testify on his PET dealings (again that foundation that is at the heart of this whole mess and which its whole board of directors recently left)
Singh is looking like Trudeau's lapdog and destroying any credibility the NDP has. An NDP MP was targeted by foreign interference, and Singh is too busy clinging on to the illusion of power to do something about it.
