No, Mr. Speaker, I do not believe it can be done that way.
People have used this phrase before and I think it is quite right: a right is a right. Why should there be some category of people who are not allowed that same right?
The member described the depth of feeling that Canadians have for marriage, for that commitment of a person to another. Why should that not be allowed for a similar depth of feeling that a man and a man or a woman and a woman may have for each other as well?
