On an Opposition Day the largest opposition party chooses the topic of debate. The vote is symbolic, it doesn't change the law, but it forces the government to publicly take a position on the opposition's choice of question.
Totals are Parliament’s official count, which does not include the tellers. Parliament’s published list names 68 of the 69 Aye voters and 280 of the 279 No voters; tellers are listed and marked but not counted.
