Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I have the privilege to present to the House a petition signed by concerned constituents from my riding of Crowfoot, more specifically individuals from areas of Stettler, Alix, Erskine and Morrin.
The petitioners call upon the government to pass legislation to recognize the institution of marriage in federal law as being that of the union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others.
I agree with the sentiments expressed in the attached petition and I take a great deal of pleasure to introduce this to the House.
