Odd question about marriage in Canada - help requested.

OK, this may seem like a strange question (and it is) but can same sex siblings marry legally in Canada?



I'm looked at the Marriage (Prohibited Degrees) Act and it prohibots marriage between brother and sister, but what about brother/brother or sister/sister>

Was there a bar introduced in Canadian law when same sex marriages were legalised? Or is this an unnoticed loophole?



And kudos to Canada for such a simple and sensibly named Act, BTW.
