Edward A. Lancaster, Member of Parliament for Lincoln, Ontario, outlined a bill to amend the Marriage Act which will make a marriage in one province valid and binding in all other provinces. No decree, ecclesiastical or otherwise, can dissolve a marriage performed by any recognized ceremony. This amendment is aimed at combating the Ne Temere Decree, in which the Pope stated marriages must be performed according the canon law of the Church in order to be valid.
