Among the MPs who voted against the motion were Liberal leadership
candidate Ken Dryden and independent MP Garth Turner.
Tory MP Michael Chong had earlier resigned from his post as the
intergovernmental affairs minister so he could abstain from voting.
"I believe in this great country of ours, and I believe in one nation
undivided, called Canada," said Chong in a press conference hours
before the vote.
CTV's Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife said the impact of Chong's
resignation could "reverberate across the country."
