So, despite all your years of experience, you decided to simply abstain from voting.
I have, on occasion, been absent from a vote in the House of Commons after taking part in the debate. As a taxpayer, as a voter, as a member of the public, and as a person who pays the taxes used to fund Sustainable Development Technology Canada, or SDTC, how can I be sure that, even if you did not vote, you didn't try to influence how others voted?
As someone with three years' experience in politics, I've already figured that out. How is it possible that you don't understand how that works?
