Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for raising these questions because it gives me a chance to put on the record clarification.
We exchanged some notes last evening during the vote. The amendments which came forward in my name, had I had the opportunity to withdraw them I would have. I think the point was very well made. When the amendments went in it was to refer to marriage and family. When the amendments were printed it was family. I should have caught it but I did not and I apologize.
This is one of the reasons for the good faith of the members assembled here. They are able to have a look at legislation and say that it does not make sense, and it was deservingly defeated.
However, there are other members who brought forward amendments which would have served the same purpose and they were defeated as well.
