Canada’s House of Commons yesterday adopted a private member’s motion that argued in support of recognizing existing and future net neutrality protections.

Of Canada’s 338 federal MPs, 277 voted in favour of adopting Liberal MP for Oakville John Oliver‘s Private Members’ Motion — M-168 (M-168).

There were no votes against adopting the bill, but due to the absence of votes from the remaining 61 members of the House, the vote wasn’t technically passed unanimously.

MPs from all three major political parties voted in support of M-168.

A step in the right direction, meanwhile the US charges full throttle in the wrong direction... :/
