Not for lack of trying, though. Less than a year after Harper first became PM in 2006, Harper's Conservatives introduced a bill to re-ban gay marriage. The CPC had a minority government at the time, and the motion was defeated by the opposition parties and a small number of defecting Red Tories (among them Jim Prentice and Peter Mackay). Harper himself voted in favour of re-banning gay marriage.
