The House of Commons passed a motion Thursday evening to retain the hybrid workplace rules implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This means that Members of Parliament can attend sittings and committee meetings virtually, as well as vote through an app.
The final vote on government House leader Mark Holland’s motion passed with the majority support from Liberal and NDP MPs.
Most Conservative and Bloc Québécois MPs voted against it.
Holland has argued that MPs should be able to continue their work while also attending important events in their constituencies or dealing with personal and family matters. He believes that this flexibility may attract more individuals, such as young parents, to pursue a career in Parliament.
