A motion tabled by the Conservatives to push the Trudeau government to come up with a plan to lift COVID-19 restrictions and reopen the economy failed to get adopted Wednesday.

A majority of MPs— 212 versus 122—voted against the motion, which urged the government to release a “clear data-driven plan to support safely, gradually, and permanently lifting COVID-19 restrictions” within 20 days after the adoption of the motion.
