The government has not appealed, choosing instead to rewrite the law to define marriage as between two persons with no gender distinction.

Extractions: PETITION To the House of Commons in Parliament Assembled We, the undersigned residents of Canada, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT the Canadian Government encourage the Republic of Turkey to re-open the Orthodox Theological Institution of Halki, which was closed by Turkish authorities in 1971. THEREFORE, your petitioners request that Parliament urge the Turkish Government to respect the international democratic principle of Freedom of Religion, and support the re-opening of the Theological School of Halki, a historic, unique and invaluable part of both world culture and the Orthodox Christian religion
Extractions: Washington, D.C., December 11, 2002The Canadian House of Commons voted its approval of the Kyoto Protocol this week, paving the way for full ratification of the treaty by Canada in the coming year. With most other industrialized nations expressing support for the scientifically dubious and economically disastrous climate treaty, the United States and Australia stand virtually alone in their principled refusal to join the crowd. Despite official opposition from eight of the nations provinces and concerned citizens from across the country, Ottawa is planning on full implementation of the treaty by 2012, a plan which is set to include a de facto energy rationing system, higher taxes, and the loss of as many as 240,000 jobs. Once put into place, the restrictions called for by Kyoto will continue be a drain on Canadian prosperity as energy prices remain artificially elevated above those in the U.S., Canadas largest trading partner. For further analysis of the Canadian endorsement of the Kyoto Protocol and its effect on the United States, please contact the energy and environment experts of the Competitive Enterprise Institute at 202-331-1010.
Extractions: PRIVACY INTERNATIONAL National Identity Cards October 4, 2003 th 2003 in London, UK. Privacy International urges the Committee to approach the issue of identity cards with great caution. Many of the claims made for the technology behind card systems cannot be sustained. The justification advanced for the card may in some cases be well intentioned, but appears to be based more on emotion and rhetoric rather than credible research. The biometric system that is proposed to form the identifier base for the card has not been successfully trailed anywhere in the world. Research evidence suggests that many of the claims made by the biometrics industry are false. Indeed the "one to many" biometrics architectures envisioned by some proponents of the Canadian scheme are entire fraudulent. The cost of the ID card system, together with appropriate registration procedures, IT infrastructure, private and public sector compliance and parallel systems will be well in excess of informal estimates currently circulating. Based on UK, European and South East Asian costings we estimate that a Canadian system at the point of full implementation will cost $7 billion (Canadian). The privacy threats arising from a national ID system cannot be overstated. An ID card in the Canadian environment will in all likelihood breach the Charter on Rights and Freedoms. A card will fundamentally violate the privacy and data protection principles enshrined in Canadian law.

Extractions: Up Sign Petition [ Canadian Parliament ] Debate before the Canadian Parliament The fact that the Armenian people suffered at the hands of a dying empire between 1915 and 1918 is of great sadness to all in this House and to all Canadians. Armenian Canadians have contributed greatly to the fabric of Canadian society and culture and we are all richer for that. It is only fitting that we remember them here today below the chimes of the Peace Tower, and that we take steps to prevent this past tragedy and other inhumanities from ever taking place again. I was shocked, really shocked, to hear the parliamentary secretary give a speech which lies totally against the truth. I have here an article from the Globe dated January 28, 1916. It speaks of atrocities. I do not know who wrote the speech for the hon. member or what he had for breakfast but it puzzles me that we have people in foreign affairs who can twist the truth the way this gentleman has done.
Extractions: In Quebec, the has recently launched a petition aimed at keeping the Liberal government's focus on the principle objectives of the recently-scuttled Bill S-13 . This initiative is all the more timely given Mr. Rock's comments on December 9, 1998. The petition statement has been translated below, and the CQTS welcomes support from across the country. The original French-language text is available, as a Word document, on the Website of Info-tabac http://www.cam.org/~francis/info-tabac/petcqts.doc Please help our colleagues in Quebec. This may prove to be pivotal in the struggle to make it crystal clear to our government in Ottawa that all Canadians want to see a stop to children smoking in our generation. We are tired of watching our children suffer while the government stays in bed with Big Tobacco. It may send a message to Mr. Rock and Sheila Copps, our Heritage Minister that the next Grand Prix, fireworks, golf, tennis tournament, ballet, or symphony will be tobacco free, and that our children will have the backing of their own government to help them stop.
