Mr. Speaker, the supreme court M. v H. decision this week is another example of an unelected, unaccountable body redefining the family, the cornerstone of Canadian society.
The Liberals are totally abdicating their responsibility. Why do they not engage in a debate in the House and with the Canadian people on this important issue?
The Reform Party stands alone in this place to defend the family. We stand alone in defending the definition of marriage as the union of a man and a women.
I long for the day when only elected, accountable representatives of the people can change the definition of the family. I long for the day when this totally unprincipled Liberal government is replaced by a governing party which will make these decisions by a free vote, reflecting the will of the people.
Canadians are sick and tired of judge-made law. They are sick and tired of this vapid, cowardly Liberal government.
