Conservative leader Stephen Harper speaks at a campaign event, at Yellowknife NWT, Monday. Frank Gunn/Canadian PressConservative leader Stephen Harper said that he is not interested in wading in a debate on whether to change the system of the Royal estate.
Critics of the Act, 300 years have used the upcoming marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton to call for an overhaul of the system of 300 years in Britain, saying: it is time to make equality of the sexes in the rules of succession of the country.
This system currently provides son automatic preference over his brothers and sisters aged females to succeed to the British Throne. This means that Middleton had a daughter and a son, the daughter would be transmitted to the wire and the son would become King when William dies or leaves his throne.
Any modification to the rule would affect the Canadian constitution and requires the support of the Canada and other countries of the Commonwealth.
John key for the New Zealand Prime Minister has already said that it supports the reform proposal.
However, when asked about the proposal during a campaign stop in the Northwest Territories Monday, Harper said that he was not the time for such a debate. He also noted the two of then successively - Prince Charles and his eldest son, Prince William - are men.
"The successor to the throne is a man," said Harper. "The next successor to the throne is a man." I do not want Canadians to open a debate on the monarchy or constitutional issues at this time.
"It is our position, and I just see that as a priority for Canadians now to all the".
Other federal party leaders have not weighed on the question.
Any legal change would not affect Charles of Princes or William, since they have more older sisters who could leapfrog if these new rules have been adopted. And the issue would be moot for another generation if the first child of Middleton was a boy.
