And as I type that, something from McKay pops up in the news:

....MacKay...told Parliament his Conservative party wouldn't throw out people who vote their conscience.
Asked this morning why the government is now ejecting Casey for opposing the budget bill, MacKay responded that the Nova Scotia MP had gone against a fundamental principle of parliamentary democracy.
He also says he never thought Casey would actually vote against a budgetary bill.
However, MacKay says Casey's decision was "premature'' because he's still in talks with Nova Scotia over honouring the accord, and there is time to make a deal.
