In 1963, the Canadian Federal Liberal Minority Government of Lester B. Pearson gained power, and decided to offically adopt a National Canadian Flag, via an Act of Parliament. After turing down the Canadian Federal Progressive Conservative Loyal Oppostion proposal '''to hold a referendum on the Flag Issue''', Liberal dominated committee decided on the Maple Leaf design.
