What the paper says is this:

"The motion, which will come to a vote Tuesday, calls for regulation or legislation to ban trans fats, as urged by a task force involving the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. Such a ban would force all processed food manufacturers, including foreign importers, to eliminate the substance or remove their product from Canadian shelves."

This does not mean that it has passed. Also the vote will be for the regulation or legislation to ban trans fat. This is a far cry from actually banning it outright. They will do studies, draft legislation and drag it out for quite a while. On the positive side, at least they are on the right track this time.
