Alberta Will you be my pension partner? Alberta's Justice Minster struggling to maintain marriage discrimination. May 12, 2003 - Alberta's Adult Interdependent Relationships Act becomes law on June 1, 2003.

He later emailed the agency to tell them as much, and now maintains he’d recently tested negative for blood-born diseases like HIV. “I felt the benefit of giving blood would outweigh the political position of Blood Services,” he said.
