Indeed. Go Canada! That makes me want to move there. I mean more so than usual.

Supreme Court of Canada Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin gave the Queen's consent to the bill on behalf of Gov. Gen. Adrienne Clarkson, who is off-duty recovering from surgery.

Well it was voted on by the two houses of Parliament. And really, the House of Commons vote a few weeks ago is really the main act to make it into law. The Senate can amend, but not vote down a law (they are a "sober second look") and royal assent is really a rubber stamp. (The Senate is mostly a rubber stamp too.)

Right on, Canada!
