This Is The Province That Pioneered Dreaming

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.

Canada Is Our Country. It Belongs To Us And We Belong To It. Let Us Join Together, In Our Time, And Make History Once Again.

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.

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.

As A People, We Know What We Can Do, We Know How To Do It, And We Just Want To Get On With It. How? By Ensuring That Canada's Place In The World Is One Of Influence And Pride.
