		In the Canadian province of Alberta, Member of the Legislative Assembly Victor Doerksen (Conservative - Red Deer South) is preparing a bill for introduction in early 2000 that would explicitly restrict legal marriage to heterosexual couples.
		Doerksen hasn't yet discussed his proposal with the ruling Conservative caucus, but he believes that it's consistent with the policy of the Klein government, which has already resisted opposition demands to recognize same-gender couples in two bills affecting unmarried heterosexual couples.
		Doerksen intends to add a preamble to the Marriage Act which would include his definition and would cite the so-called "notwithstanding clause" that allows provinces to reject provisions of the national Charter of Rights and Freedoms, in the hope of avoiding discrimination lawsuits.
