Conservatives trying to 'kill the bill' that would make O Canada gender neutral, senator says

The late Liberal MP Mauril Bélanger's dream of a gender-neutral national anthem by Canada Day is likely over. Conservative Manitoba Senator Don Plett has moved an amendment to the legislation that would dump Bélanger's proposed changes — which would replace "in all thy sons command" with "all of us command" in the English version of the anthem — and revert to the original wording of the song penned by Judge Robert Stanley Weir in 1908.
