Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to present a petition from residents of my riding of Okanagan—Shuswap as well as from residents of Kelowna, Westbank, Longview and Peachland.
The petitioners call on the House to reopen the issue of marriage and to repeal or amend the Marriage for Civil Purposes Act in order to promote and defend marriage as the lawful union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others.
