Anyways the whole Act of Parliament and subsequent Royal Decree was an interesting display of Canadian politics... the motion in Parliament was tabled by the opposition (the NDP in this case... umm far left) and was opposed for some reason by the Conservatives - anyways in case the motion didn't pass the Legion went above the PM's head and appealed to the Crown & the Senate; and both actions where successful within the same week... although some cynics might argue the Conservative opposition faded once the Senate and then the Queen stepped in
