| Description | QUEBEC - The Maple Leaf has survived a symbolic vote in the Quebec legislature, with the Parti Quebecois being defeated in an effort Tuesday to remove the flag from the building.
The vote marked a milestone for the province's national assembly: the Canadian flag has never before remained on official display in the building when the pro-independence PQ has held office.
Members of the sovereigntist party erupted in jeers and sarcastic cheers as their motion to remove the flag went down to defeat.
The motion was defeated 65-33. The Liberals and Coalition outnumbered the PQ and the left-wing, pro-independence Quebec solidaire. |
