Thunder Bay-Rainy River M-P John Rafferty is being criticized for not showing in the House of Commons Wednesday during a Bloc Quebecois motion in support of the federal long-gun registry.
The motion passed 143-136. Kenora Conservative M-P Greg Rickford says he's disappointed and upset northern Ontario New Democrats didn't take a stand to get rid of the gun registry.
Rafferty says he wasn't in the House because he was busy with forestry business and the vote came just before a scheduled meeting with CUPE.
