Same sex marriage is here to stay in Canada.
A Conservative bid to reinstate the traditional meaning of “marriage” was voted down 175 to 123 in the House of Commons on Thursday.
Twelve Tories broke ranks to vote against Prime Minister Stephen Harper's motion, including cabinet ministers Peter MacKay, Lawrence Cannon, Jim Prentice, David Emerson, and Josee Verner.
A number of MPs who voted against same-sex marriage in June last year today rejected the chance to reopen the issue, including Liberal MP Joe Comuzzi, who gave up a cabinet position last year to vote against approving gay and lesbian marriages.
Michael Chong -- who just resigned from the Conservative cabinet over the Québécois nation debate -- and treasury board president John Baird also voted against the motion.
The widely-anticipated result should be the final word on the issue, with both the Conservative and Liberal parties allowing a free vote. The Bloc Québécois and New Democratic Party voted against the motion.
