Mr. Speaker, I have a petition today to present on behalf of citizens in my own riding about the definition of marriage.
These citizens believe that marriage is defined as the lifelong union between one man and one woman and is the best foundation for families, and whereas it is the exclusive jurisdiction of Parliament to define marriage, the petitioners pray that Parliament define marriage in federal law as being the union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others. I table that on behalf of my constituents.
