Transcript of the Vote in the House of Commons on Third Reading of Bill C-81, the Proposed Accessible Canada Act, on November 27, 2018

(Note from the AODA Alliance: During Third Reading debates, the opposition Conservatives brought a motion to have Bill C-81 referred back to the Standing Committee, so it could consider further amendments to address the unmet concerns that the disability community had raised. As set out below, describing it as a vote on “the amendment,” all opposition members voted in support of that motion. The federal Liberals all voted against it, so it was defeated. As also set out below, the House of Commons then voted to unanimously pass the bill, on Third Reading.)
