Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise in the House to present a petition on behalf of about 125 people in my riding.
The petitioners ask that the federal government recognize that marriage in this country is indeed the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others. They are concerned that the government has failed to define this in legislation that would withstand a court challenge. They ask that the government take action to make sure this is put into law.
