My question is to the minister. I refer the minister to item 24 relating to subsection 3(1), where it says:

partner: a person is the partner of another person if the two persons have a relationship as a couple (whether the persons are the same sex or different sexes).

I want to know what the definition of ‘relationship’ is as defined by that subsection. What exactly does that term mean?
