Cotler predicts MPs will pass same-sex bill
The Liberals have the support of enough MPs to pass controversial same-sex marriage legislation scheduled for introduction next week, Justice Minister Irwin Cotler said Wednesday.
“The way I read the numbers, we have the support for the adoption of this legislation,” Cotler told reporters as Liberal MPs met in Fredericton.
Cotler had spent part of the day walking MPs through what will be in the bill, which some backbenchers oppose because they believe in the traditional definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman.
