Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff is getting some heat for leading MP's in missing votes in the house of commons.
Thunder Bay Rainy River MP John Rafferty says it's no big deal.
"I think you have to keep in mind, first of all, that if a vote is missed it doesn't mean you're not in Ottawa working," says Rafferty. "I think that's maybe one of the misconceptions that comes out when you see that because votes come at the end of the day."
Rafferty has missed 26 votes, ranking him 96th out of the 305 MPs.
