Four Conservative cabinet ministers are expected to vote against re-opening same-sex marriage: Jim Prentice, David Emerson, Josée Verner, and John Baird. Emerson voted in favour of same-sex marriage in June 2005 as a Liberal cabinet minister; Prentice was one of just three Conservatives who voted that way.
They will join rookie MPs Josée Verner, and John Baird in voting against re-opening the debate on equal marriage. Both Peter MacKay and Lawrence Cannon have declined to reveal how they will vote on Dec 7.
