The problem is that the legal wording for Marriage is one man and one woman... In ruling that denying the right to marriage to smae sex couples is contrary to the Charter of RIghts and Freedoms, the court has put the government in an awkward situation.
They have marriage defined in way that contravenes the Charter.
The Feds would like to have their laws in line with the provinces that have already ruled in favour of same sex legislation. They have opted to change that definition and in doing so has raised the ire of anyone who things it should stay as it is.
The truth of the matter is that regardless of the definition, same-sex marriages are not going to go away. That threshold has been crossed and the door has been taken off the hinges...
