Bio
CLC rating: Pro-parental rights, Unknown on abortion
Rating Comments: Minister Hogan has been a powerful advocate for parental rights in education. He lead the reform of Policy 713 to require that schools must first obtain parental consent and provide parental notification, before their children are allowed to impersonate the opposite sex while at school. The policy revision also aimed to protect female intimate spaces from intrusion by biological males (see Quotes tab).

| Motion 50 - Liberal opposition's attempt to undermine the minimal parental rights established in the PC government's revision to Policy 713 This Motion, made by pro-LGBT Liberal Party leader Susan Holt, sought to delegitimize the minimal protections implemented under the PC government's Policy 713, which required parental consent before children under the age of 16 could insist that gender-ideological names and pronouns be applied to themselves in schools. Disgracefully, the Motion asserted that children's rights were somehow thwarted by the guidance of their own parents. The Motion's resolution requested that Policy 713 be subjected to further scrutiny by the Office of the Child and Youth Advocate, which was to "conduct full consultations with relevant stakeholders on any changes to Policy 713 and the impact of such changes..." The resolution passed by a vote of 26 in favour to 20 opposed on June 15, 2023. |

Here are quotes from Bill Hogan on various life and family issues:
Boldly stating his commitment to parental rights over LGBT indoctrination: "We are going to continue to defend parent rights . . . I'll defend it today, I'll defend it tomorrow, I'll defend it from this day forward until the election, through the next election and after that." [CBC News, 'Government defends spending on law firm handling Policy 713 case', May 7, 2024]
Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Bill Hogan on July 17th, 2023.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | no response |
| Are there any circumstances under which you believe a woman should have access to abortion? (note: a surgical or medical intervention, designed to prevent the death of the mother but but which results in the unintended and undesired death of the pre-born child, is not an abortion. e.g. in cases of tubal pregnancy or cervical cancer) | no response |
| Will you uphold the current law of not funding abortion in private facilities? | no response |
| Will you support measures to stop funding abortions with taxpayers money in all New Brunswick hospitals? | no response |
| Do you agree women have the right to be thoroughly informed about the serious health consequences of abortion, the development of the child in the womb and the alternatives to abortion? | no response |
| Will you protect the rights of parents to educate their children according to their faith in matters of moral principles and beliefs concerning abortion, contraception and homosexuality? | no response |
| Will you oppose euthanasia and instead support measures to promote 'palliative care', the purpose of which is to alleviate pain, and enhance the quality of life for terminally ill patients and those with disabilities? (Note: Euthanasia is the direct and intentional killing of a person by action or omission, with or without that person's consent, for what people mistakenly believe are compassionate reasons.) | no response |
| Will you support legislation to protect the right of health care workers who refuse to participate in procedures which are in violation of their religious or conscientious beliefs? | no response |
