I think the fact that there won't be a referendum is a Parliamentary power trip. These guys love the idea that they are toying with something big for once.

It's not a power trip, it's a recognition no country serious about equality and protecting minority rights should let the majority dictate what those rights are.
This notion that, "it's acceptable to repress anyone we want to as long as 51% of people agree with it" goes against some things that are fundamental to Canada.
