- Equality_Rights_Statute_Amendment_Act abstract "The Equality Rights Statute Amendment Act, also known as An Act to Amend Ontario Statutes to Provide for the Equal Treatment of Persons in Spousal Relationships or as Bill 167, was a proposed law in the Canadian province of Ontario, introduced by the government of Bob Rae in 1994, which would have provided same-sex couples with rights and obligations mostly equal to those of opposite-sex common law couples by amending the definition of “spouse” in 79 provincial statutes. Despite the changes, the bill did not formally confer same-sex marriage rights in the province, as the definition of marriage in Canada is under federal jurisdiction; instead, the bill proposed civil union status for same-sex couples, although it was not explicitly labelled as such since the term was not yet in widespread international use.The bill was first introduced in the legislature on May 17, 1994 by Attorney General Marion Boyd. The bill passed first reading by a handful of votes, with the most vocal opposition emerging between first and second reading as public reaction to the bill began to mount. In an attempt to salvage the bill on second reading, Boyd dropped the most controversial provisions, including adoption rights, but the move did not win the support of any MPP who was not already supporting the bill in its original form. The bill was defeated by a recorded vote of 68 to 59 on second reading on June 9, 1994.".
