The conservative party forced a vote today to drop the mandates by the end of the month. It failed 151 to 185, with MPs voting along party lines (Conservatives and Bloc Québécois in favour; Liberals, NDP, and Green opposed) with a couple of abstentions.

Unless I misunderstand what the motion text means, it did not force a vote on mandates but on whether to come up with a plan to do so!

> That, given that provinces are lifting COVID-19 restrictions and that Dr. Theresa Tam has said that all existing public health measures need to be "re-evaluated" so that we can "get back to some normalcy", the House call on the government to table a plan for the lifting of all federal mandates and restrictions, and to table that plan by February 28, 2022.

I mean, if they can't get this very weak motion to pass,i highly doubt they would get one to kill mandates to pass.

This is not NOT what was voted on. Vote of motion to have a PLAN without a deadline as to when this theater ends
