RE:RE:warrants look like they are ready to take off againMost Independent and Liberal senators generally support the bill, and together they hold 54 of the chamber's 93 occupied seats. But that doesn't guarantee that all of those members will vote together as a block or be present when the vote is recorded. Moreover, two Senate committees are on the road: members of the agriculture committee are meeting with stakeholders in Calgary, while the Aboriginal peoples committee is in Winnipeg. That means as many as 20 senators most of them Independent will be out of the mix today when a vote is held. Others, like Independent Quebec Sen. Jacques Demers, are not expected to be in attendance because of illness. The 33 Conservative senators generally vote in lockstep on government legislation, since they all still sit as members of a national party caucus. So 54 - 21 independants that are away is 33 (libs and independants) vs 33 conservatives. Certainly a close one.
