Nous croyons que cette approche sera conforme aux attentes des Canadiens qui pensent, comme l'a dit le juge La Forest dans l'affaire Egan, que le mariage est une union de nature hétérosexuelle, ainsi qu'aux attentes de ceux qui veulent que la loi garantisse un statut égal aux homosexuels.
We believe that this approach would meet the needs of both those Canadians who believe that marriage is and should remain as an institution which, as Justice La Forest said, in the Egan decision, “is by nature heterosexual” and also those who are concerned to recognize the equal status of gays and lesbians under the law.
