The vote in the Commons, just concluded, was 152 in favour and 144 against continuing the Business of the the House, and of the Country. Bill S-18 was not dealt with today, and as I write this the Projected Order of Business for tomorrow has not yet been posted. It appears that regardless of what is posted for the agenda, it is unlikely that any business of the House will be allowed to proceed. I am quite frankly greatly disappointed, and disgusted, (polite terms) with the games being played by our Parliamentary representatives, regardless of what Party they belong to. They are acting like a bunch of kids playing in a sandlot game of rugby. They are certainly not dealing with the will of myself, or of anyone else that I have discussed this issue with. As the news media occasionally say - 'Stay tuned for further developments' Gordon A.
