At A Moment That Comes Rarely In

There Are Nations That Resist, Voices That Attempt To Diminish The Urgency Or Dismiss The Science, Or Declare, Either In Word Or Indifference, That This Is Not Our Problem To Solve. Well, Let Me Tell You, It Is Our Problem To Solve... To The Reticent Nations, Including The United States, I Say This: There Is Such A Thing As A Global Conscience.

Every Canadian Who Wants To Learn Should Have The Opportunity To Do So.

At A Moment That Comes Rarely In The Life Of A Country. It Is A Time When Destiny Is Ours To Hold.

The People Of Canada Have Worked Hard To Build A Country That Opens Its Doors To Include All, Regardless Of Their Differences; A Country That Respects All, Regardless Of Their Differences; A Country That Demands Equality For All, Regardless Of Their Differences.

I Rise Today In Support Of Bill C-38, The Civil Marriage Act. I Rise In Support Of A Canada In Which Liberties Are Safeguarded, Rights Are Protected And The People Of This Land Are Treated As Equals Under The Law.
