Madam Speaker, I have another petition from numerous citizens in eastern Ontario.
The petitioners point out that acts of discrimination against lesbian, gay and bisexual Canadians are an everyday reality in all regions of Canada and that this kind of discrimination is unacceptable in a country known for its commitment to human rights, equality and dignity for all citizens.
Therefore these petitioners call upon Parliament to act quickly to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and to adapt all necessary measures to recognize the full equality of same sex relationships in federal law.
