House votes 225-74 to change ‘O Canada’

The House voted 225-74 in support of a bill by terminally ill MP Mauril Bélanger that will change the line “in all thy sons command” to “in all of us command.” Bélanger was present for the vote, which will send the bill to the Senate for debate and committee study. The Senate may not deal with it until Parliament returns from its summer recess.

This is the second time the lyrics have been changed, bringing it closer to the version used in 1913.
