The Liberals and Tories both voted against the bill. Fisheries Minister and MLA for Shelburne Sterling Belliveau, who has opposed provisions that would split up his riding, says it was necessary for him to vote with the government in order to allow the legislature's law amendments committee to travel there to hear citizens concerns. Belliveau says he will vote against the bill on third reading unless changes are made that satisfy the people in his riding. The law amendments committee will meet on Tuesday to set dates for public hearings in Shelburne. It's expected the all party committee will hit the road and head for Shelburne on Thursday and Friday.
