Description
March 5 Québec, Qué. Québec Minister of Justice Marc-André Bédard introduced Bill 89, "An Act to Establish a New Civil Code and to Reform Family Law," to the Quebec National Assembly. It was seen as more progressive than the federal Divorce Act in that the proposed bill removed references to sodomy and homosexual acts as grounds for divorce. There was nothing in Bill 89, however, concerning common law marriages, including those of same sex couples.
