Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yes, we have done some work. We have drafted legislation to amend the Family Law Act, but the recent court decisions and the different approaches that we see in other jurisdictions, as well as the question of adoption by same-sex couples, which is a different act, which is the Adoption Act. These new developments cause us to hold back of moving forward with legislation right now until we do a comprehensive review and, hopefully by this fall, we will have something in place. Thank you.
