Mr. Speaker, the final petition is on the issue of marriage.
The petitioners would like to point out that marriage is an institution which pre-existed the state and is based on a profound human need for having children and continuing the family from generation to generation.
They also want to point out that marriage is an institution so basic to the human condition and common good that its nature is beyond the reach of civil law.
They therefore call upon Parliament to take all necessary means to support the definition of marriage.
