Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Department of Justice has looked at the Supreme Court decision, the M. versus H. decision. The Supreme Court of Canada decided that the definition of "spouse" in the Ontario Family Law Act did not meet the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We have done some work in the Department of Justice. We have looked at what Canada has done and what other provinces have done in order to get their legislation in line with the Supreme Court decision. We have done that, and we are currently drafting some legislation to amend the Family Law Act. This is to apply to same-sex couples for spousal support.

The question earlier was with regard to adoption, which is under the Health and Social Services Adoption Act legislation. What we need to do here is to look at all our laws that deal with this whole issue of same-sex couples and try to take a comprehensive approach, rather than just trying to meet the requirements of M. versus H. Thank you.
