Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36 it is my privilege to present to the House a petition, signed by over 200 Canadians, dealing with marriage.
The petitioners call upon Parliament to reaffirm, 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.
The petitioners pray and request that the Parliament of Canada take all steps possible to preserve and protect this traditional definition of marriage which has deep historical roots in our country.
