Liberal Caucus in Revolt?

[August1991]

A Toronto Liberal M-P says several colleagues are considering voting against their government's budget in order to kill the same-sex marriage bill.

Jim Karygiannis says at least three Liberals have suggested they could vote against the budget.

This comes at the same time as a report that Christian fundamentalists "influence" some Liberal riding associations:

McVety said his group, which opposes same-sex marriage, helped a number of like-minded Liberals secure nominations prior to last year's election.

Among them were Toronto-area MPs Paul Szabo, Tom Wappel, Jim Karygiannis, Dan McTeague and Albina Guarnieri, now veterans affairs minister, and Oshawa MP Judi Longfield.

"And those are just some of the Liberals we've helped."

But maybe this is part of a plan for the Liberals to have an election.

Anyone who won't support their party in a confience vote should do the honourable thing and resign from the caucus.

Agreed. Isn't very honourable to be a part of something you have no confidence in.
