This is from Mr. Komarnicki regarding free votes: “That, in the opinion of the House, all Members of Parliament should be allowed to vote freely on all matters of conscience”.
This does not concerns questions that are outside federal jurisdiction, does not clearly violate the Constitution Acts, including the Canadian charter, does not concern questions that are substantially the same as ones already voted on by the House in the current session of Parliament or preceding it in the order of precedence, and this motion does not concern questions that are currently on the order paper or notice paper as items of government business.
