Dear Mr. Marchi
I am disappointed that your government still has not fulfilled its promise
to explicitly include lesbian and gay rights within the Canadian Charter.
I ask you for guarantees that lesbian and gay couples will not be
discriminated against when applying for permanent residence status in
Canada. Gay or lesbian Canadians should be allowed to sponsor their
non-Canadian partners, as is the case with married, heterosexual Canadians.
I am encourages to hear that your government is considering amending the
Charter to include the prohibition based on sexual orientation. I would
ask that you also remove the barriers faced by Canadians who are trying to
assist their non-Canadina partners to become permanent residents in Canada
Sincerely
