| Description | The Conservatives will follow through with their election promise to revisit same-sex marriage, with debate expected to begin as early as next week.
The government confirmed Tuesday they will begin debate Dec. 6th with a vote planned before the House breaks for the holidays.
The motion is expected to ask MPs to reopen discussion on same-sex marriage, but will not directly challenge the existing legislation. However, it may ask whether parliamentarians wish to repeal or amend the existing law.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said if the House votes against changing the law to allow same-sex marriages, the matter would be settled. |
