Canada's Liberals Stack Committee To Push Gay Marriage Bill To Vote
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/03/031005canMarr.htm

The Liberal government has stacked the parliamentary deck in favor of its same-sex marriage bill by naming only supportive Liberals to a key committee.

The makeup of a new same-sex committee should ensure Bill C-38 doesn't suffer any major changes before it arrives for a final vote in the House of Commons in the coming months.

Although the controversial marriage issue has divided the ranks of the governing party, it will be a powerful block of six Liberals sitting on the committee scrutinizing the bill.
