Arnott Supports Traditional Definition of Marriage
Waterloo-Wellington MPP Ted Arnott is absolutely in
favour of the traditional definition of marriage, and
wants to thank constituents for their overwhelming support
on the issue.
“I
have always believed in the traditional definition of
marriage, as being the union of one man and one woman,”
Mr. Arnott said. “Families are the foundation of our
society, and our Waterloo-Wellington constituents are
expressing their belief in traditional marriage loudly
and clearly.”
In
June, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled that the traditional
definition of marriage violated Canada’s Charter of
Rights and Freedoms. In response to a media enquiry,
Mr. Arnott immediately disagreed with the decision.
“It’s most unfortunate that the federal government decided
not to appeal the lower court’s ruling to the Supreme
Court of Canada,” he said.
In
recent weeks, Mr. Arnott’s office has received literally
hundreds of calls, letters and e-mails on the marriage
issue.
“It’s
time that governments at all levels listen to the people
before one of our most cherished institutions is irrevocably
altered,” Mr. Arnott concluded.
