Same Sex Marriage Bill Up Next In Canadian Parliament

The Canadian Parliament passed legislation Thursday evening to extend the sitting of this session. In return for support of the extension, the Bloc Quebecois Party demanded and received assurance in writing that the Same Sex Marriage legislation be included in this extended session of Parliament. With the support of the BQ, and NDP parties, the Conservatives will not have enough votes to stop the bill from passing. It is anticipated that the legislation will reach the third and final reading and become law on Monday June 27th.
