I’m not sure jihad watch is telling the real story . The motion needed unanimous consent to pass.
After question period, Mulcair, acting on an e-petition sponsored by Liberal MP Frank Baylis, asked the House to join the more than 66,000 Canadians urging parliamentarians to condemn all forms of Islamophobia.
While most MPs yelled out: “Agreed.” A handful of Conservatives said: “No.”
The motion was denied.
Conservative government members of Parliament did not support the motion, and the Liberal MP from Mississauga Centre, Omar Alghabra, referred to the Conservative attitude as “troubling.”
Samer Majzoub, the initiator of the petition, was in Ottawa to witness his motion pass and told reporters that he was sad to see Conservative MPs block the motion.
Your point well taken by me. I just could not get any actual numbers on the voting. I suppose one would have to go to Hansard for that. In any case a "condemnation" seems to be superfluous to me. I just wonder about the "hate crimes" brigade.
