Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 634 of 639 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.

I feel we are going around the houses. I know we are all learning our way but I do not want this to develop into a Second Stage speech. I am not specifically referring to the Senator now as I am talking in general to all Senators. We are on section 3, amendment No. 1, just so the Senator knows that.
