Lol, so it sure sounds like the Conservatives had a plan to avoid an election but blame it on the app.
Only *after* it was clear there were sufficient abstentions to pass the budget, Scheer and Reid scurried to their seats to vote no.

“Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer and the party's caucus chair, Scott Reid, flew in at the last minute, saying they couldn't vote on the app and wanted to record their “nay” votes in person.
