Senator HANSON-YOUNG (5:12 PM) —I am confused. Perhaps it is my ignorance again, and my lack of education by the opposition. Either we have a set of terminologies and words in our federal legislation that says, ‘You are a parent of a child,’ or we do not. If you are suggesting that we are not trying to create a two-class system—with one class being those children who are born to parents who are not married, regardless of their sexuality—why not have the same terminology used for each category?
