MPs voted on March 30 to close debate on the Senate’s proposed amendments for Bill C-11, the Online Streaming Act.

The closure motion was moved by Government House Leader Mark Holland and passed by a vote of 173–145, with both the Liberals and NDP voting in favour and the Conservatives and Bloc Québécois voting against it.
