Liberals intend to move quickly to get a Ukraine free-trade bill passed. The Conservatives voted against the legislation solely because they won't support any promotion of carbon pricing.
The official Opposition continued to force the delay of government bills and billions in spending on Thursday in an attempt to get the Liberal government to remove the federal carbon-pricing plan from all home heating by the holidays.
Chief government whip Steven MacKinnon issued a statement Wednesday saying he is "profoundly disappointed" that Liberal MP Yves Robillard travelled outside Canada, in contravention of party instructions.
