To preserve the overall well-being of our country, it is crucial that we reflect on what made Canada great. At the onset of Parliament each day, you as members, seek the guidance and direction of Almighty God in directing the affairs of our great land. Should we then not consult Him in matters which are so far-reaching in their effect on the home and society at large?

The importance of this issue is tantamount to an organization such as Hearth Families Incorporated as we seek to fulfill our mandate in Helping Educate And Reclaim The Home. Hearth Families Incorporated, as a provincial parental rights support organization, is greatly concerned that the traditional, Christian family remains strong and protected by our great country's government. The possible erosion of that traditional family unit is viewed by Hearth Families Incorporated as greatly undesirable and wrong from a moral standard. To view it otherwise is to create a "de-moralizing" affect, if you will, on our children and our society. For the moral, Christian family to not have a government supportive and protective of it, is a grave and serious cause for concern. Many non-Christian religions and non-religious societies, still view homosexuality as a serious form of perversion and reprobation. This is not to say that any individual should be subjected to cruelty or hate, but certain acts of immorality or violence should not be considered acceptable in a free society.

Your own study reveals:

     "Canada is not the first country in the world to address whether or how to legally recognize same-sex unions. Most countries have decided to retain marriage as an opposite-sex institution."

As we ponder the examples of history, we are forced to acknowledge that nations that have violated God's moral laws eventually experience grave consequences for their actions and lifestyle.

An example in history would be the time of the Roman Empire. Mankind, for the most part, went about doing what was "right in his own eyes", including all manner of sexuality. The results were the persecution of those differing in their opinions and beliefs to the point to death, and the emotional, psychological and physical suicide of their people and nation as a whole.

      "Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example…" -Jude 7

Sodom and Gomorrah, once prosperous and beautiful cities, will always be remembered as an example of God's judgment (the total destruction of these cities was because of their ignoring and rejection of God's laws regarding sodomy). Sodomy is the crime of unnatural copulation. From early times, sodomy has been referred to in statutes and court cases as "the crime against nature" by a man with a man.

Strong traditional families are the strength and security of a nation. As caring and concerned parents, we believe that to be accepting of "alternate" marriage relationships is to degrade and undermine the all important institution of the home and family as it was originally intended. The decision of government to seek to re-establish the laws of God and nature would no doubt have a devastating affect on any established moral standard, and therefore open the door for a very chaotic and degenerative society. The two concepts are not very likely to co-exist without the one seeking to infringe upon the rights of the other. And from the examples of history, it has been the moral and Christian society that has suffered greater persecution.

In the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms Part 1 we read:

      "Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God…"

The law must remain established. To accept each individual's ideas and concepts will cause for such variant positions that there would be no possible way of including all. Where will it end? What will be next? Why not allow the higher laws to continue to guide and guard our great country and families as they have so adequately done in our past? There will be a standard. Can we not allow it to be high for the sake of our children and the good of all?

The advantages to following the laws of God and nature are both rewarding and beneficial to all people and nations.

      "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord…" -Psalm 33:12

After all the presentations have been completed and your Committee gives its recommendation on this matter, please consider whether or not in your own personal recommendation: Did you do all to uphold the highest standard possible for all Canadians?

On behalf of Hearth Families Incorporated, we recommend that the definition of marriage should be "the lawful union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others".

God's laws do not change. His views on moral issues will forever remain the same. His love is vast. His patience is long. His judgment is sure.
