Mr. Speaker, I have heard a lot about children here. In many of the speeches I made in the House, children were in fact one of the prime focuses. I talked about the rights of the child, but actually the difference is that I talked about the rights of all children, all Canadian children, regardless of who their parents were.
If we are going to pick and choose the children that we give rights to, then we do not really care about children as a whole. We only care about the kinds of children who come from the kinds of parents that we think are worthy.
Who are we to decide what children are worthy? Either we believe in children and we love children or we do not believe in children and love children, all children. Every single child in this country deserves the right to be equal under the law and deserves the right to know that his or her parents can be married. When I hear about children, I become very concerned.
What about the marriages of those people who cannot have children? What about heterosexuals who do not have the ability to have children? Should their marriages be annulled? I would like to ask the hon. member that question.
