UPDATE: Christmas election averted, Liberals survive budget vote

Final tally: 170 years, 168 nays. Here's a VERY quick breakdown on what happened.

🚨 NO ELECTION 🚨

The vote barely squeaked by thanks to abstentions.

Final tally: 170 yeas, 168 nays.

Abstentions appeared to have been:

NDP MP Gord Johns

NDP MP Lori Idlout

Conservative MP Shannon Stubbs

Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux

All other opposition MPs voted against, except for Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, who voted “yea” alongside the Liberals.
