     I didn't think passing Bill C223 to study a Guaranteed Livable Income would be an easy win, but neither did I think it would be so strongly defeated.

     And this was just for a study! The cost would have been minimal, but I guess politicians were afraid the study results might have indicated they've done a poor job of providing the social safety net they claim we have in Canada.
