Sorry guys, I am posting it here as I don't have time to search for the previous thread on the topic.
Here is what I just received from Maurice Vellacott via email.
S031 - Equal Shared Parenting - Jan. 31, 2014
Mr. Speaker, I have had a difficult decision to make. I have 4 items on the Order Paper, and all of great importance. Two of the motions are explicitly pro-life measures, one is a democratic reform initiative, and the one bill I have on the order paper is for the sake of the children. They all deserve to proceed in this place, but regrettably I can only choose one at this time.
I have selected Bill C/560 to move to 2nd reading debate in this Chamber. It is my bill to amend the Divorce Act to make equal shared parenting a rebuttable presumption on cases of marital breakup involving children.
Aside from proven abuse or neglect, over three quarters of Canadians want equal shared parenting to be the presumption in our courts when marriages unfortunately break down. Research clearly demonstrates that equal shared parenting is in the best interest of children.
Also based on conversations I have been a part of, I have good reason to believe that the other 3 items I have on the order paper will be picked up in due course by other good MPs who have spine and foresight. And for that I am truly grateful!

My P.S. - Why copy-paste is not working?
