Mr. Speaker, I am honoured today to stand in the House to present a number of petitions signed by people mostly from the wonderful riding of Elk Island. I represent them in the issue of the definition of marriage. There is a petition circulating now by people who are concerned about the redefinition of marriage. These petitioners simply ask that we leave it the way it is, that it be defined as a marriage to be entered into only by a single male and a single female.
In the House of Commons on June 9th, 1998. See this statement in context.
