Well, it's interesting, because there have been lots of conversations about free votes and lots of conversations in support of that, but at the same time, there has not been support for people to be free to have their own opinion or to share the opinions of the constituencies and those they represent. I think that's actually shameful behaviour. I don't think that represents Canada and the democracy we live in. I find that to be very sad.
