Is Canada Rethinking Its Approach To Gay Marriage?

Canada's prime minister has denied his government is changing its position on same-sex marriage. Stephen Harper made the comment after media reports regarding a divorce case in Toronto. The case involves two women, one from Florida, the other from Britain, who got married in Canada which legalized same-sex marriages in 2005.

Martha McCarthy is the Toronto lawyer who represents the two women.
