Mr. Speaker, I appreciate those questions from the member. I will answer the second one first, which was whether I was aware of the decisions the courts have made. Of course I was aware but I would like to know the member's thoughts on whether the courts should be making law in this country. I do not believe it should be up to the courts to make the law.
I ask the member if he is aware that the Supreme Court said very clearly that it was up to Parliament to decide this issue, not the courts. What the Conservative Party will certainly do on this issue is protect the rights of all those who are married. They will be allowed to remain, if they choose, in a civil union and their rights will be protected but they will not be married under the law. That will be uniform across the country.
I am sorry but I have actually forgotten the member's first question, so I will have to wait for the next one.
