Taft said it is now up to government to put the motion into action through a legislated bill.

"Rodeo is so much more than an athletic event or tourist attraction. Rodeo reminds us of our western heritage," Taft said.

While some expected animal rights to take centre stage in debates Monday night, politicians from the Conservative and Liberal parties voted in favour of the motion.
