Feds will change law so all same-sex marriages legal

Rob Nicholson says it's the government's view that these marriages "should be valid."

Doubts were raised about the validity of thousands of marriages conducted in Canada for same-sex couples from the United States and elsewhere following a federal twist in a Charter of Rights case launched in Ontario by two foreign women seeking a divorce.
