Mr. Speaker, it my privilege to table in the House the names of petitioners calling upon Parliament to immediately hold a renewed debate on the definition of marriage, reaffirming, as it did in 1999, that marriage is and should remain the union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others, and that Parliament should take all necessary steps within the jurisdiction of the Parliament of Canada to preserve this definition of marriage.
In the House of Commons on November 6th, 2003. See this statement in context.
