Mr. Speaker, absolutely. I could think of hundreds of them.
I think of my own friendships before I was a married man. I used to joke that a single man does not know what true love is until he is married, and then it is too late. Of course that was in jest.
Both of our sons were well on in years before they were married. In fact one of them is not yet married. They have very close friends. They live together, they share costs and expenses. They have a relationship which I do not think should qualify under this bill. The problem I have is that when the government attempts to come up with a list of everybody who is entitled to this or that, or whatever, the list never ends. That is the flaw of this legislation.
