Ballots cast by year
One bar per calendar year: recorded divisions where Paul Szabo voted yea or nay. Absences and pairings are not ballots and are not drawn. Votes against the party line, if any, are the lit slice at the base of the bar.
Against the party line
Every recorded division where Paul Szabo voted against the majority of their own caucus — all 4 of them, in full, because a count without its list is a claim and not a record.
| Date | Vote | Party | Division |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2006-10-25 | Nay | Liberal | C-257 · That the Bill be now read a second time and referred to the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities. |
| 2009-11-25 | Yea | Liberal | C-36 · That the motion be amended by deleting all the words after the word “That” and substituting the following: “Bill C-36, An Act to amend the Criminal Code, be not now read a third time but be referred back to the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights for the purpose of reconsidering Clauses 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 with a view to making any amendments which may be called for as a result of information undertaken to be placed before the Committee by departmental officials on November 4, 2009, but which the office of the Minister of Public Safety failed to provide before the Committee considered the Bill at clause-by-clause.”. |
| 2010-03-23 | Nay | Liberal | That, in the opinion of the House, the government’s G8 maternal and child health initiative for the world’s poorest regions must include the full range of family planning, sexual and reproductive health options, including contraception, consistent with the policy of previous Liberal and Conservative governments, and all other G8 governments last year in L’Aquila, Italy; that the approach of the Government of Canada must be based on scientific evidence, which proves that education and family planning can prevent as many as one in every three maternal deaths; and that the Canadian government should refrain from advancing the failed right-wing ideologies previously imposed by the George W. Bush administration in the United States, which made humanitarian assistance conditional upon a “global gag rule” that required all non-governmental organizations receiving federal funding to refrain from promoting medically-sound family planning. |
| 2010-09-29 | Nay | Liberal | C-308 · That Bill C-308, An Act to amend the Employment Insurance Act (improvement of the employment insurance system), be concurred in at report stage. |

Method
A ballot is a yea or a nay. Absences (48 here) and pairings (0) are recorded but are not votes, and every rate on this page divides by ballots cast, never by divisions held.
A dissent is a caucus dissent. Ballots cast while sitting as an Independent are never counted as dissents — an Independent has no party line to defy. The source dump flags 61 such ballots anyway; this site excludes them, and documents the artefact in correction 0001.
The record has edges. Memberships and Hansard begin 1994-01-17; recorded divisions begin 2006-05-08. A member who served before that date shows zero ballots because the record starts there, not because they never voted.
Alphabetical, not ranked. The directory sorts by family name. This site does not rank, score, or grade people.
