Mr. Speaker, I am proud to present a petition on behalf of the constituents of Viking, Alberta on marriage.
The petitioners acknowledge that marriage is the best foundation for families and for the raising of children and that the institution of marriage as being between a man and a woman is being challenged. They acknowledge that the House decided in 1999 that marriage should remain a union between a man and a woman.
They therefore petition Parliament to reinstate marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
