Justice Minister Cauchon Mocks Democracy

CFAC News Release
September 9, 2003

Canada Family Action Coalition (CFAC) says Justice Minister Martin Cauchon's cross-Canada tour is nothing more than the efforts of a dictatorship regime to indoctrinate the Canadian public, using public tax dollars.

"Mr. Cauchon is determined to force his personal views of homosexual marriage on Canadians," says CFAC Executive Director Brian Rushfeldt. "This reveals his on-going blatant disregard for Canadian democracy. It is especially offensive to Canadians who respect the traditional, heterosexual marriage institution," he says.

Since day one, Mr. Cauchon has demonstrated his contempt for democracy on the issue of homosexual marriage, Rushfeldt adds. "First, he asked for a Parliamentary Committee to hold months of cross-Canada hearings on the issue. Then, the day the Committee voted on this issue, the Liberals removed members who opposed same-sex marriage and replaced them with MPs who support same-sex marriage - MPs who had not sat in on even one day of the presentations. Now, because so many Canadians are outraged at the dictatorial manner in which Mr. Cauchon and the Prime Minister have been trying to force homosexual marriage on Canadians, Cauchon is using tax dollars for nothing more than an attempt to indoctrinate the Canadian public with his personal and cultural views."

"It is time that Canadians reject such dictatorial, undemocratic antics, by rejecting Cauchon and every MP who supports his costly, destructive strategy," says Rushfeldt. "Even the Prime Minister seems to be coming to his senses, by today suggesting that Parliament should debate the marriage issue this fall after all."

The Liberal government has claimed that the courts have already decided and there's nothing they can do. "Now they are spending your tax dollars to try and convince you to accept what is nothing less than a judicial and political dictatorship, and a complete mockery of democracy. They lied to Canadians in 1999 when they voted on a motion promising to "take all necessary steps to protect marriage. Mr. Cauchon's actions are hypocritical, " Mr. Rushfeldt says.

This Cauchon tax-funded tour of indoctrination indicates the level of desperation of some Liberals in their anti-democratic and anti-religious actions, Mr. Rushfeldt adds. "Make no mistake," says Mr. Rushfeldt. "We will ensure that marriage, as well as Bill C-250, are election issues. We WILL be holding MPs accountable for their actions on these issues."
