Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, it is my duty and honour to rise in the House to present two petitions, duly certified by the clerk of petitions, on behalf of 139 constituents of Saanich-Gulf Islands.
The petitioners humbly pray and call upon Parliament to ensure that the present provisions of the human rights act and the charter of rights and freedoms prohibiting amendments to indicate societal approval of same sex relationships, homosexuality and the undefined phrase of sexual orientation remain in force.
