House of Commons Ticker: The Omnibudget (C-38) Debate
-
Ooh, and #TeamNDP Clipboard Division is back in the gallery as well! Is excitement about to ensue? #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/14/2012 9:53:24 PM -
I was *not* in the HoC (or watching the vote) so I didn't see the alleged "salutes", but it sounds distinctly lacking in good taste. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/14/2012 11:33:28 PM

RT@KarlBelanger: #CPC Whip pleaded to apply last 20 votes. @nathancullen said only if #CPC ready for QP to answer Canadians' questions #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 12:43:16 AM
-
So it seems that Peter MacKay has hit the wall, as far as sheer and utter exhaustion. Right there with you, sir. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 2:43:51 AM
-
So -- 6 more votes. Courage! #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 2:45:25 AM
-
Not a single one. @justnwilson: @kady have any amendments passed? #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 2:47:51 AM
-
A few hardy souls taking seats in the public gallery. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 2:52:22 AM
-
So true. @PaulDewar: Big thank you to all the clerks, staff, speakers & pages who kept things moving for #c38 #remarkableby kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 2:52:50 AM
-
Yes, that's the capper! @caveaged: Is this followed by vote on the whole (unamended) bill #C38, or will that be another day?by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 2:56:01 AM
-
Not quite as big - just 8 hrs! @sarahcaitlin26: Once report stage final vote taken, do we have a big process for 3rd reading as well? #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 2:58:46 AM
-
It's official! @andrewscheer: 3 more. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:00:06 AM
-
Impressive! How are you feeling? @FinDonnelly: @kady I'm one of four New Dems who was here for all votes of the BIA #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:04:05 AM
-
A surprise appearance in #TeamPMO staffer row by ... @d_soudas! #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:05:26 AM
-
We believe this is the last vote on amendments! And the reaction from the doomed but euphoric yea side suggests we are correct. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:07:41 AM
-
Big cheers for Nycole Turmel, presumably for her whipping prowess. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:08:29 AM
-
It is! @JordanAGlass: And is that #NDP staffer @KarlBelanger sitting with @d_soudas? #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:09:53 AM
-
Amazing. @ElizabethMay: I never left my chair, but we had one vote counting mix up. #ironwoman #c38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:10:14 AM
-
Because it's almost over. @NMC4carstairs: Why all the extra cheering #C38 @kadyby kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:11:15 AM
-
There will likely be one more vote after this, on #C38 itself, which stands unamended.by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:11:57 AM
-
A rousing chant of "Gord! Gord! Gord!" for the government whip. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:12:14 AM
-
Result for the final #C38 amendment: 134 - 163.by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:14:48 AM
-
And here's Nathan Cullen with a heartfelt thanks for the Table staff and the whole House of Commons family. A standing ovation ensues. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:15:22 AM
-
Cullen also thanks ... *you*, twitterverse, and everyone who followed along on the internet. Yeah, I concur. You kept us sane! #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:16:23 AM
-
And now, the vote on the bill itself, amid a deafening din. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:16:56 AM
-
I would've let the nays have it out of sheer terror. @cfhorgan: Peter Julian was like a man possessed on that voice vote #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:17:17 AM
-
I can barely remember Tuesday at this point. @cmaconthehill: Final vote to send #C38 to 3rd reading. Then, finally, Wednesday will be over.by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:20:15 AM
-
And a HUGE cheer on the opposition side, where they clearly feel that their goal was accomplished. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:20:37 AM
-
Okay, I'm starting to get #NDP12 flashbacks. There better not be a marching band lurking behind those curtains. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:21:27 AM
-
The NDP caucus has been clapping since my last tweet. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:22:57 AM
-
Oh there we go, on to the Liberals, who can't hope to even come close to looking that satisfied. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:23:40 AM
-
An all-opposition-wide ovation for @ElizabethMay. Not a single government member takes part. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:24:31 AM
-
I declare the motion CARRIED! (After the speaker did, so it's totally legit.) #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:24:55 AM
-
And now, the NDP will bang its desk while chanting "2015! 2015!" and the House clears out. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:25:46 AM
-
Well, that was a dramatic finish, I'll give them that. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:26:33 AM
-
From the Conservative lobby, the strains of "Harper! Harper! Harper!" all but drown out... adjournment debate? Seriously? A late show? #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:28:12 AM
-
Alright, that's just weird enough to serve as the perfect close to this day, I guess. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:28:39 AM
-
Alright, y'all, I'm heading out. I am beyond knackered. Thanks for putting up with my increasingly loopy chronicling of events! #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:37:16 AM
-
Postscript: My colleague @susanamas tells me Bev Oda clapped for @ElizabethMay. Can't see her from the gallery, of course. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:41:39 AM
-
I don't think she stood, though -- we would have noticed that from our vantage point. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:41:59 AM
-
The advantage to watching on TV - you see that end of the House! @AJBraden: No standing, but I could see her clapping on CPAC. #C38by kady o'malley via twitter 6/15/2012 3:44:23 AM
