In today's Montreal Gazette, there is an article wherein Jack Layton is calling on former Prime Minister Paul Martin to resign from his seat in the House of Commons. Layton argues that he should resign because he has yet to show up to cast a single vote in this session of Parliament.
Unfortunately, Layton isn't going far enough with this request; the vast majority of the Liberal caucus hasn't voted on any significant pieces of legislation in many months now in their desperation to avoid an election. They were elected to come to Ottawa to help make decisons and suggestions on legislation of of behalf of their constituents, but apparently they are content to sit on their hands and avoid taking a definite stand on the policies of the Conservative Government.
Liberal MPs ought to be held accountable for not doing their job as expected, not just Paul Martin!
