Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions today and I am glad you waited for me to the last.
I have the privilege of presenting a petition signed by 174 of my constituents. Their concern has led them to sign a statement which says that the majority of Canadians believe that same sex couples should not receive the same privileges as heterosexual couples. I share their belief that all Canadians are already protected under the current human rights code and that including the undefined phrase sexual orientation is both unnecessary and unwise.
