Bill 204 would give the government a year to create a strategy including universal access to mental health care for pregnant women and new mothers.

Among the 91 legislators who voted in favour were those from the governing NDP , the BC Conservatives , the Greens and three rebel former Conservatives who left the party last week .

Bill will still need to be studied by a committee, then pass third reading and receive Royal Assent before it could come into effect.
