Mr. Speaker, on page 92 of the Liberal red book the Liberals promised "more free votes will be allowed in the House of Commons".
This promise is made in a paragraph which also promises MPs a greater role in drafting legislation through House of Commons' committees. It is obviously talking about a free vote on government legislation, not private members' bills.
There have been some free votes on private members' bills in this Parliament and previous Parliaments, but this Prime Minister has steadfastly refused to allow even one free vote on any government legislation.
When will the Prime Minister live up to his red book promise and allow free votes on government legislation?
