Liberal MPs should start forfeiting portions of their salary after their latest incidence of failing to do their jobs as they are supposed to.
MPs are paid by the government of Canada to actually do their jobs and represent their constituents, including being present for votes and taking a stand on issues. Indignantly walking out of the House of Commons because things aren't going your way is neither mature nor appropriate.
This is only the latest in a series of incidents in which the Liberals opted to sit out of votes rather than take a definitive stance. Remember how Stephane Dion complained about the latest budget? Well he clearly didn't oppose it enough to vote against it - he and his entire caucus abstained from voting.
The Liberals need to start behaving like grownups and actually do the jobs which they are being paid for.
