Answer 2

Same-sex marriage was legalized across Canada by the Civil Marriage Act enacted on July 20, 2005. Court decisions, starting in 2003, had already legalized same-sex marriage in eight out of ten provinces and one of three territories, whose residents comprised about 90% of Canada's population. Before passage of the Act, more than 3,000 same-sex couples had already married in these areas.[1] Most legal benefits commonly associated with marriage had been extended to cohabiting same-sex couples since 1999.

The Civil Marriage Act was introduced by Paul Martin's Liberal government in the Canadian House of Commons on February 1, 2005 as Bill C-38. It was passed by the House of Commons on June 28, 2005, by the Senate on July 19, 2005, and it received Royal Assent the following day.

Same-sex marriage has been legal:

* in the province of Ontario since 10 June 2003;
* in the province of British Columbia since 8 July 2003;
* in the province of Quebec since 19 March 2004;
* in the Yukon territory since 14 July 2004;
* in the province of Manitoba since 16 September 2004;
* in the province of Nova Scotia since 24 September 2004;
* in the province of Saskatchewan since 5 November 2004;
* in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador since 21 December 2004;
* in the province of New Brunswick since 23 June 2005
