Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36 I am pleased to present the following petition on behalf of the citizens of Lethbridge. There are 1,750 signatures on this petition.
My constituents believe that some of the greatest problems in our society are the problems surrounding marriage and family life. As family life goes, so does the rest of society. Troubled families produce a troubled society which is what we see happening in our nation today.
In order to protect the nucleus of society the petitioners call on parliament to enact Bill C-225, an act to amend the marriages act so as to define a statute that a marriage can only be entered into by a single male and a single female. It is my pleasure to support this petition.
