"O Canada" has gone through some changes to be more gender-inclusive.

The House of Commons overwhelmingly passed a bill that alters the national anthem by replacing "in all thy sons command" with "in all of us command."

It now must receive royal assent by the Governor General before it officially becomes law.

Since 1980, when "O Canada" officially became the country's anthem, 12 bills have been introduced in the House to get rid of the lyric "sons," which some have argued is uninclusive.

All attempts have failed until now.
