Tory plan to revisit marriage law called ’reckless’
The Conservative Party plan to strip away the right of same-sex couples to marry is "legally reckless" and unconstitutional, a group of prominent legal experts is warning.In an open letter being issued today, more than 100 Canadian constitutional law experts caution Tory Leader Stephen Harper not to proceed with his plans if he is elected prime minister without first referring proposed legislation to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Canadian Prime Minister Loses Bid to Revisit Gay Marriage Law
What a strangely slanted piece of reporting. Harper only held the vote because it was one of the election promises -- a fair vote on what is for some a controversial issue. The previous vote was unfair as all the Liberal party people were forced to tow the line. So weve got a PM in Canada who does everything he says hell do. I guess you dont have politicians like that in the USA? There really isnt much more to it than that. Why the wild headline? It tells us a lot more about Doug Struck, rather than representing the
Same-sex marriage vote a hurdle for Liberals
New Liberal Leader Stephane Dion will face his first major caucus management test with Parliament's looming free vote on same-sex marriage. Prime Minister Stephen Harper wants to hold a promised vote on whether Parliament should revisit the same-sex marriage bill passed last year by Parliament. Debate would start Wednesday, with a vote likely on Thursday. In Monday's question period, Harper tried to create some mischief for Dion by saying: "We promised Canadians a genuinely free vote on this issue in the House of Commons. "I know the new leader of the opposition has said he will not allow a free vote of his caucus
Canadian Supreme Court rules in favor of gay marriage.
In a landmark opinion, Canada's Supreme Court said Thursday that proposed legislation allowing gay marriage is constitutional, but the government cannot force religious officials to perform unions against their beliefs. The Liberal government had sought the court's opinon, which is strictly advisory, and the legislation to allow gay marriage must still pass with a majority of the House of Commons. Judges in six provinces and one territory have already allowed same-sex marriage. Prime Minister Paul Martin said that his government would introduce a bill shortly...
Lawmakers kick off same-sex marriage law debate
Prime Minister Paul Martin kicked off a historic debate on same-sex marriage in the House of Commons with a speech on protecting minority rights. "Our deliberations will not be merely about a piece of legislation," Martin told the House of Commons Wednesday. "More deeply, it will be about the kind of nation we are today and the nation we want to be." "This bill protects minority rights. This bill affirms the Charter guarantee of religious freedom. It's that straightforward and it's that important." Martin affirmed that the controversial bill to legalize same-sex marriage, Bill C-38, will not impede religious freedom and will
Canadian Leaders Agree To Propose Gay Marriage Law
The Canadian cabinet approved a new national policy today to open marriage to gay couples, paving the way for Canada to become the third country to allow same-sex unions. ''You have to look at history as an evolution of society,'' Prime Minister Jean Chrétien told reporters after a meeting of his cabinet. ''According to the interpretation of the courts these unions should be legal in Canada. We will ensure that our legislation includes and legally recognizes the union of same-sex couples.'' The decision to redefine marriage in Canada to include unions between men and between women will immediately take effect
Gay ’Marriage’ Law to be Introduced in Feb., Passed by June Says Canadian Justice Minister
Justice Minister Irwin Cotler has announced that he will introduce the Liberal government bill to change the definition of marriage to one that would include same-sex couples, in early February. He hopes it will pass before the House rises in June. In his announcement Cotler seemed to take comfort in the activist court decisions that have forced homosexual 'marriage' on seven provinces and one territory in Canada. "If the bill does not pass, the likelihood is that the constitutional development will continue in the other provinces, and we will likely see this issue being arrived at one by one in
Canada May Not Pass Gay-Marriage Law Before Break, Martin Says
June 16 (Bloomberg) -- Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin said he may not have enough time to pass legislation allowing gays and lesbians to marry before Parliament shuts down for summer recess next week. Martin asked opposition Conservative Party Leader Stephen Harper to drop his threat to prolong debate on additional 2006 budget spending that Harper opposes. Any delay would make passage of the marriage law difficult before the House of Commons adjourns June 23, Martin said. ``It's in the hands of the opposition,'' Martin told reporters in Ottawa following a meeting of his cabinet. ``How long it takes us
Same-sex marriage now officially the law
Two Alberta men were quick to take advantage of their newfound right to marry each other in the wake of Bill C-38 becoming law. Rob Bradford and Keenan Carley arrived at a provincial registry to obtain a civil marriage licence less than an hour after the same-sex marriage law was given royal assent on Wednesday. First, they had to wait for the provincial government to fax a directive to all registry offices instructing them to go ahead and issue marriage licences to same-sex couples. Staff changed the words "bride and groom" on the licence to "partner one and partner two." With the document
Canada marriage law may be delayed
The new Canadian Justice Minister has thrown a wrench into the timetable for legalizing same-sex marriage by adding a fourth question to the three others that have been placed before the Canadian Supreme Court. The high court was planning to hear arguments on the marriage questions April 16, and briefs from 18 interested parties were due at the beginning of March. Wednesday's announcement by Minister Irwin Cotler means that the court will likely delay this schedule for weeks or months. Last year, the administration of Jean Chretien decided to legalize same-sex marriage throughout Canada. Prior to placing a bill before Parliament, his

Canada gay marriage law to pass this week, sources say

The meanings of marriage.
"The apt and cheerful conversation of man with woman is the chief and noblest purpose of marriage," wrote John Milton. "Where loving [conversation] cannot be, there can be left of wedlock nothing but the empty husk of an outside matrimony"--dry, shrivelled, and dispensable. Aptness can strain cheerfulness: candid conversations between
