It goes for a second reading at GS2019.  Meanwhile, to speak in very sweeping generalizations, the northern dioceses where the Indigenous People were missionaried, and in the northern sweep of the Prairies, you have No, and those bishops have great influence over their people and are not likely to change their minds. In fact they marched out in anger when the vote result became Yes. In the vote, to our great surprise, the House of Bishops met the 2/3 majority without problem and the laity were more than 3/4 in favour.  It was the clergy who sat on the knife edge.  So I don't know.  Wiser heads than mine will be wrestling with the problem of division.
