Local MP Jamie Schmale has voted in favour of assisted suicide after seeing the ballots from the public.
Schmale says each household in Haliburton County, Kawartha Lakes, and Brock received a package with a ballot asking if he should vote for or against Bill C-14.
He says it was humbling to read the responses and letters people included with their ballots.
The members of parliament voted on Tuesday, at the House of Commons.
