Madam Speaker, I thank the member for the statistics. Marriage is not just about love. I think that the value within Canadian society of the marriage union has to do with children. It has to do with getting together. Our basic instinct is to procreate. It is to create a healthy society, to create families and to create family trees. It is not just about love. It is about reflecting that love in having children. That is the deciding point.
The member hopefully will find a way in which marriage can be described as something more than a caring relationship between two people, because the next thing that will happen is that we will have two university students sharing the same accommodation and saying that they really care about each other and want the same tax deductions.
