Liberals defeat NDP motion on Justin Trudeau’s broken electoral reform promise
OTTAWA — The Liberals have defeated a motion that accused the government of misleading Canadians on electoral reform and demanded they apologize for their broken promise.
The motion put forward in the House of Commons by the New Democrats was rejected 175 to 129 Tuesday.
“Believe me when I say this ain’t over,” NDP MP Nathan Cullen said Tuesday after the vote.
“Canadians expected more from this prime minister. They believed that he was going to be different, and this betrayal of such a black-and-white promise shows him to be, unfortunately, more of the cynical same,” said Cullen, the NDP critic for electoral reform.
