LONDON, Ontario – Former Liberal and outgoing Independent Member of Parliament Pat O’Brien and former Leader of the Opposition the Hon. Grant Hill, P.C., announced, today, that Vote Marriage Canada endorses three pro-marriage candidates. Said Pat O’Brien, “On behalf of Vote Marriage Canada, Grant Hill and I are endorsing incumbent Liberal Paul Szabo of Mississauga South, Dan Mailer of London—Fanshawe, and former NDP and incumbent Independent Bev Desjarlais of Churchill. Each has taken a stand and given clear indication of supporting marriage as the legal union of one man and one woman in the next Parliament.” Vote Marriage Canada is carrying on a national campaign calling on the next Parliament to restore and to promote marriage as the legal union of one man and one woman. With B.C. Co-Chair Reed Elley, Atlantic Co-Chair Elsie Wayne, Quebec Co-Chair Louis DeSerres, Pat O’Brien and Grant Hill are calling on Parliament to recognize that marriage as the union of one man and one woman is the foundation of families and Canadian society. “The last Parliament and the Paul Martin Government were given no mandate to redefine marriage. Canadians know this, and some 55% want Parliament to reopen this issue.” Dr. Hill added.
