"There is a Westminster tradition that members who vote against a money bill … can not remain in the party," MacKay said.

"I was confident that Mr. Casey and all members of the Atlantic caucus believed so strongly in the process we were following to see that the Atlantic Accord was respected that it would never come to this."

Before the vote, MacKay told the House of Commons that his party would not be "whipping, flipping, hiring or firing" any of their members for opposing the bill.
