| Message | The CRP opposes all acts except Article 7 in this bill. Marriage is between one man and one woman and thus the right to raise a family resides with them. |
| Date | 02:39:57, June 24, 2012 CET | From | New Democratic Party | To | Debating the Family and Civil Liberties Act, 3323 |
| Message | We didn't think that you would agree. We would still wish to work with you, but social liberalism is an integral part of the NDP platform, which we do not intend to throw out in a hurry. |

| Message | I think that adoption may be made only by a couple man-woman and hence we oppose to this bill unless article 1 is removed |
