Concept: How has the Canadian state regulated/limited the shape of families?

Explain the significance of the concept- How has the Canadian state regulated/limited the shape of families? Read the article attached “Same-sex marriage and Canadian relationship recognition-one step forward, two steps back: a critical liberationist perspective” and provide an example of the concept, which means that you both need to define it, and say why/how is it important within the article. To do that, try to answer these questions: why is the author telling us about this thing? What is the larger relevance of the concept, particularly in relation to gender? Explaining the concept might mean providing an example from the article, and it might also mean some combination of direct quotation from the article (using quotation marks, and a citation with page number) and paraphrasing (paraphrasing means taking an author’s ideas and putting them in your own words).
