Same sex marriage in New Brunswick: The province of New Brunswick does not currently issue marriage licences to same-sex couples.
New Brunswick's Justice Minister Brad Green announced in September 2004 that the Government of New Brunswick will not follow in the footsteps of Nova Scotia in issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. He said that the definition is a federal matter, and the province will recognize only marriages between a man and a woman until the federal government comes up with another definition. Premier Bernard Lord indicated that if and when the federal government passes such legislation, his government will comply with it.

In the meantime, Art Vautour-Toole and Wayne Toole, along with a couple known only as "A & T," are suing the government for their right to marry. "A & T" were married in Toronto, and had been able to get their last names changed in New Brunswick supposedly because the clerk did not realize they were both women.
