The Same Sex Vote

I was in the Press Gallery for today’s same-sex vote and was madly trying to keep score. I hope I have this right but, of course, the Hansard record out late tonight will be the official result. (UPDATE: Got one wrong in the earlier version: Liberal John Cannis abstained and Liberal Roy Cullen voted in favour. The following list is now correct and Hansard has the Official Result)

The motion failed: There were was 123 Yeas; 175 Nays; and 8 MPs were either absent from the House or were present but abstained.

Overall, most Conservatives voted in favour; every NDP MP voted against; most Liberal MPs voted against, and most BQ MPs voted against. Prime Minister Harper voted in favour but cabinet ministers Prentice, Cannon, MacKay, Baird, Emerson, and Verner voted against.

Here’s the complete MP by MP breakdown:
