Canadian Gov't Postpones Summer Break To Pass Gay Marriage Law
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/06/062005canada.htm

Canada's minority Liberal government has served notice it will ask MPs to extend Parliament's sitting indefinitely, which could bring same-sex marriage legislation to a vote.

In what amounts to a game of summer-vacation chicken, Liberal House leader Tony Valeri gave notice Monday of a votable motion to extend the Commons sitting beyond the scheduled June 23 recess.

Bill C-38, which would change the legal definition of marriage in Canada, is supported by a clear majority of MPs in the Commons.

Just good news all around!
