I commend her for being here and representing her constituents as well as she does on this very important issue.</p>\n<p>Many people on the Liberal side, the New Democrats and the Bloc say that extending marriage to include same sex unions is a human rights issue and yet so few countries accept that. The United Nations does not accept that.</p>\n<p>Does the member believe that this is a fundamental human right or is this basically social engineering by a government that is corrupt and has lost touch?</p>",
