Madam Speaker, I have three petitions to introduce in the House today pursuant to Standing Order 36.
The first is from residents of my riding of Prince George-Bulkley Valley. They are concerned that Parliament does not include among human rights a right to behaviour that is considered morally wrong, that marriage plays a pivotal and societal role in the stability of the family, and that any legislation such as Bill C-265 which might weaken the family unit is the antithesis of a sensible social policy.
Therefore the petitioners pray that Parliament defeat Bill C-265 in order to protect marriage and the family from the possible social upheaval that might be caused by its passage into law.
