Counting down to the House of Commons vote that will put the Liberal minority to the test this week, Independent MP Chuck Cadman is still weighing his options.

The ailing Cadman, who is undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer, flew to Ottawa from Surrey, B.C. to vote in Thursday's crucial non-confidence vote in the House of Commons.

In order to keep tabs on how the Independent MP may be leaning, the newest addition to CTV Newsnet's prime-time lineup, COUNTDOWN: With Mike Duffy, has set up a special webcam in Cadman's Ottawa residence.

Speaking, via the Internet, on what has been playfully dubbed the "Cadman Cam," the British Columbia MP said he is carefully monitoring his health ahead of the big vote.

"I have to be conscious of my health and not push myself too hard," said Cadman.

And still, he told Duffy on Monday night, he has every intention of making it to the vote.

Prime Minister Paul Martin has said if his government loses the budget vote, he will ask that Parliament be dissolved and an election be called immediately.

On Saturday, Cadman was supposed to have tea with Liberal cabinet minister and fellow B.C. MP Ujjal Dosanjh, but the meeting was cancelled.

Cadman blamed the media circus outside his home for the change of plans.

However, he said he has still not made up his mind on whether he will support the Conservatives and the Bloc Quebecois -- or whether he'll side with the Liberals and the NDP.

He told Duffy he is waiting to make sure he has all the information he needs.

"There is a poll going on in (my) riding right now, as far as I know...and I am waiting for the results of that," he said.

"That will be a part of it, I'm not saying everything is going to be based on that, but that will certainly form a part of it because especially as an independent, I feel I have a major obligation to my constituents."

Cadman is one of three wild-card Independent MPs whose votes could make or break the minority government.

Duffy will be catching up with Cadman on throughout the run of COUNTDOWN: With Mike Duffy, which made its 2005 debut Monday, May 16 at 8 p.m. ET. It is repeated nightly at 11 p.m. ET.

The news show will be the program of record should an election be called, and will continue to count down the events of the day beyond the vote.
