Defending the right of parents - not teachers - to make decisions regarding gender confusion in their minor children: "I truly believe that decision should be made between the child and the parents and then they go to the teacher and explain to them exactly how they wish to have their child addressed." [The New Wark Times, 'Tantramar Councillor Bruce Phinney prospective PC candidate in fall provincial election', Aug. 14, 2024]

| 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 |

| 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 |
