Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present a petition, following many others on the same subject, again signed by constituents in my riding of Mississauga South.
The constituents of Mississauga South overwhelmingly have come out against the Ontario Court of Appeal decision; and that the definition of marriage being the legal union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others is in fact constitutional and the will of Canadians.
The petitioners would also like to point out that section 33 of the charter provides an override, which is also referred to as a notwithstanding clause.
The petitioners therefore call upon Parliament and the government to invoke the notwithstanding clause so that only two persons of the opposite sex can be married.
