A ruling is expected, possibly as early as this week, on same-sex marriage in New Brunswick.

Four same-sex couples are suing the provincial government arguing that its refusal to grant them marriage licenses is a violation of the Canadian Constitution.

"There's no discrimination more oppressive than discrimination by a government on its citizens," lawyer Alison Menard, told Justice Judy Clendenning in arguments last week.
