Here are quotes from Paul Lane on various life and family issues:

Expressing his solidarity with homosexualism, transgenderism and abortion:  "That's an important question. That's the biggest question for me, to be honest with you. That is the biggest question. I've said that I was kind of leaning a certain way because of where the current government is on this oil and gas. It doesn't mean that I believe in all this stuff that – I was going to say Pee-wee, sorry – Mr. Poilievre is saying when it comes to the LGBTQ community and women's rights. I don't agree with him. I absolutely do not agree with him, but at least they are pro oil and gas from what I can gather." [Mar. 11, 2025, Provincial Hansard, www.assembly.nl.ca/houseBusiness/Hansard/ga50session2/25-03-11.html]
