Not really, though. His main purpose is to keep both the carbon tax and his own name in the headlines, so I guess he succeeded.

It will also let him say his party voted to axe the tax, while the NDP, Liberals, and Bloc either vote for it, or abstain. It's a purity test the other MPs are designed to fail.
