Votes, Surveys and Policy Decision Vote Score
Motion urging the federal government to finance & export abortion
Quebec MNAs unanimously condemned a moderately pro-life policy decision made by the Harper government to refuse financing abortion in third world countries. The National Assembly motion, passed 109-0 and read: “That [Quebec’s] National Assembly reaffirms the right of women to free choice and to free and accessible abortion services, and asks the federal government and the Prime Minister of Canada to put an end to the current ambiguity on this issue, and that the National Assembly reaffirms that the fact of supporting women’s right to an abortion should not in any case be used by the federal government to cut funding to a women’s group.” [May 19, 2010]
Yes bad
Bill 52, second reading, To legalize euthanasia and give doctors the power to kill their patients
This dangerous bill violates the Criminal Code of Canada by attempting to legalize the form of homicide known as euthanasia. The Parti Quebecois used verbal gymnastics and euphemism to describe as "health care" an action by a doctor to end the life of his patient. This dangerous, unlawful bill targets the elderly and disabled persons who will face internal and external pressure to consider euthanasia. In essence it will create a 'duty to die' in the minds of many Quebecers. The bill passed 2nd reading vote 84 to 26.
Yes bad
Bill 52, final reading, To legalize euthanasia giving doctors the power to kill their patients
This dangerous bill violates the Criminal Code of Canada by attempting to legalize the form of homicide known as euthanasia. The Parti Quebecois used verbal gymnastics and euphemism to describe as "health care" an action by a doctor to end the life of his patient. This dangerous, unlawful bill targets the elderly and disabled persons who will face internal and external pressure to consider euthanasia. In essence it will create a 'duty to die' in the minds of many Quebecers. On June 5, 2014, the bill passed 3rd reading by a vote of 94 to 22 with no abstentions. Now it falls on the federal government to block Quebec's unlawful action.
Yes bad
Motion to enable so-called drag queen (LGBT) story-hour sessions, and shield transvestite child-groomers, from protests by parents and other concerned citizens
This Motion, made in the Quebec National Assembly, deliberately casts aspersions on Canadians for simply exercising their Charter rights to peaceful protest and free speech in an effort to protect children from transvestite LGBT groomers commonly called drag queens. The Motion fawningly portrays these child groomers as victims of violent insults, intolerance and hatred when protested against by concerned parents and other responsible citizens who deplore the inculcation of LGBT fetishes and fantasies into the vulnerable imaginations of young children. Under the pretext of "exposing children to difference" in order to make Quebec "an example of equality and fairness for gender diverse communities around the world", the Quebec National Assembly has declared open season on the minds and souls of children at the hands of LGBT activists, and against loving and concerned parents who wish to guard their children from an increasingly predatory LGBT militancy. This obscene Motion passed by a vote of 109 - 0 on April 4, 2023.
