Mr. Speaker, it is my honour to present petitions today on behalf of people of Elk Island and surrounding constituencies.
The first petition contains approximately 335 names. The petitioners ask that Parliament not amend the human rights code, the Canadian Human Rights Act or the charter of rights and freedoms in any way which would tend to indicate societal approval of same sex relationship or of homosexuality, including amending the human rights code to include in the prohibited grounds of discrimination the undefined phrase sexual orientation.
