| Bill C36, third reading: To protect exploited persons from prostitution by criminalizing pimps and the purchase of human beings for sex. After the black-robed activists who sit on the bench of the Supreme Court of Canada struck down our Criminal Code prohibitions against prostitution, the Conservative government put forward this new legislation, modelled on the successful nordic law, to protect women from prostitution and the degradation of communities. The bill passed by a vote of 156 to 124. It is shameful that 124 Members of Parliament voted to protect the evil, exploitative practice of prostitution. [October 6, 2014] |

| Bill C14 - 4th reading of a bill to legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide (after it was amended by the Senate) The passage of this monstrous Bill, introduced on April 14, 2016 by Liberal Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, institutes a killing regime in Canada under which government-approved conditions have been established for putting citizens to death. The innocuous-sounding phrase "medical assistance in dying" has been employed to hide the reality of a remarkably broad state-sponsored killing apparatus that now allows most ordinary Canadians to participate in causing the death of some of C-14's victims. This carefully-constructed, euthemistic phrase "medical assistance in dying" indicates only that medication is to be involved in the actual killing; it does not indicate that a doctor or a nurse must be present to oversee that actual administration of the lethal medication in all cases. Once dispensed, deadly medication can be adminstered by "any person" of the age of majority. Thus, in some circumstances, Bill C-14 goes beyond what the now-obsolete phrase "doctor-assited suicide" envisaged; now, there is not even a requirement for a healthcare professional to witness every euthanasia killing that takes place. [Vote June 16, 2016 - passed 190 to 108] |
No | |
| Bill C14 - 3rd reading of Liberal gvmt bill to legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide This horrible Bill, introduced on April 14, 2016 by Justin Trudeau's Liberal Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, would institute a killing regime in Canada under which doctors, nurses and even average people assigned by a doctor, will be permitted to kill their patients. The bill uses an innocuous-sounding phrase - medical assistance in dying - to hide the ugly reality of a state-sponsored killing apparatus that would allow most ordinary Canadians to participate in causing the death of their fellow citizens. This reckless bill will lead to wide open euthanasia-on-demand, just as they have in the Netherlands and Belgium where child euthanasia and the killing of depressed persons is permitted. [Passed May 31, 2016 by a vote of 186 Ayes to 137 Nays] |
No | |
| Motion 312: Studying Canada's 400 Year Old Definition of Human Being Motion 312 (sponsored by MP Stephen Woodworth) called for parliament to review Subsection 223(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada which states that a child becomes a human being only at the moment of complete birth. |
Yes | |
| Amendment to protect freedom of conscience for doctors, nurses, pharmacists and healthcare institutions to refuse to participate in euthanasia, either directly or indirectly Conservative MP Michael Cooper proposed this amendment to the Liberal government’s pro-euthanasia Bill C-14, so as to protect the freedoms of conscience and religion for doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare workers and institutions to refuse to participate in euthanasia or assisted suicide, either directly by committing the murder, or indirectly by referring the patient to be killed by someone else. Tragically, the common sense amendment was defeated by a vote of 97 Yeas to 222 Nays. Basically, almost all Conservatives voted well, and virtually all Liberals, NDP and Bloc MPs voted to crush freedom of conscience. [May 30, 2016, Vote No. 72] |

| Motion 123, Favoured legalizing euthanasia & assisted Suicide [Mar 25, 1998] |
No | |
| Bill C279 - 3rd reading of 'transgender & transsexual' empowerment bill which added the radical concepts of "gender identity" and "gender expression" to the Human Rights Act and Criminal Code. This radical private members bill by NDP Randal Garrison sought to invent a counterfeit right to "gender expression" and "gender identity" in the Canadian Human Rights Act. Dubbed "the bathroom bill" by critics, this change in law would put women and young girls at greater risk from bathroom attacks by sexual predators and from peeping toms. It will create a legal right for men who identify as the opposite sex, to use female washrooms and change rooms - a form of "gender expression". Critics point out this radical departure from social norms will provide a convenient excuse for male sexual predators to get in close quarters with potential female victims by cross-dressing or pretending to be "transgendered". It would also create a legal nightmare for businesses and Christian charities that would be required to allow staff to cross-dress in the work place. Furthermore, this would harm youth by cooperating with mental illness and encouraging sexually-confused young men to perceive themselves as women, and vice versa. It will also open the door for radical activists to insist that transgenderism & transsexualism must be inserted in school curriculum and taught in classrooms as something that is normal, natural and healthy. [Vote March 20, 2013 - passed 150 to 137] |
No | |
| C-484, Unborn victims of Crime Act Common sense legislation that would allow criminal charges to be laid in the death or injury of an unborn child when the childs mother is the victim of violent crime. This cannot be considered a "pro-life" bill because it specifically excludes deliberate acts of abortion by the woman. Nonetheless, it is a good "pro-family" bill because it protects women and their wanted children from violent crime. (Mar5/08) |
Yes | |
| C-313, Age of Consent child protection bill Raised the age of consent for sex from 14 to 16 [Sep 28, 2005] |
Yes | |
| Bill C389, 3rd reading of the "Transsexual Bathroom Bill" This radical bill sought to add "gender identity" and "gender expression" to the Human Rights Act and Criminal Code. If passed, the bill would've endangered women and children by creating a legal right for men who "identify" as the opposite sex, to use female public washrooms. Male sexual predators or peeping toms would have certainly used this as an opening to enter the girl's washroom. It is unconscionable for legislators to put women and children in such a compromising position. It would also create a legal nightmare for businesses that would be required to allow staff to cross-dress in the work place. Furthermore, this would harm youth by cooperating with mental illness and encouraging sexually-confused young men to perceive themselves as women, and vice versa. It will also open the door for radical activists to insist that transsexualism must be inserted in school curriculum and taught in classrooms as something that is normal, natural and healthy. This bill passed final reading in House of Commons by a 143-135 vote on February 9, 2011, but then, thankfully, died in the Senate when a federal election was called. |

| Bill C279 - 2nd reading, to add "gender identity" and "gender expression" to the Human Rights Act and Criminal Code. This radical private members bill by NDP Randal Garrison would invent a counterfeit right to "gender expression" and "gender identity" in the Canadian Human Rights Act. Dubbed "the bathroom bill" by critics, this change in law would put women and young girls at greater risk from bathroom attacks by sexual predators and from peeping toms. It will create a legal right for men who identify as the opposite sex, to use female washrooms and change rooms - a form of "gender expression".

| Survey on awarding Order of Canada to Henry Morgentaler Do you agree with awarding the Order of Canada to abortionist Henry Morgentaler? (July 2008) |
No | |
| Bill C-250, added sexual orientation to hate crimes law [Sep 17, 2003] Note: observers predict this could eventually be used to prosecute Christians for holding to biblical teaching on homosexuality and may cause sections of the Bible and the Catholic Cathechism to be banned as "hate literature". |
No | |
| Motion 83, Inquiry into the medical necessity of abortion Asked parliament to examine whether abortion is medically necessary and to report on its potential health risks to women (Oct 1, 2003) |
Yes | |
| Bill C-384, Legalize euthanasia & assisted suicide A horrible bill that would have given doctors permission to kill people who are seriously ill but not dying and who in fact, have a treatable condition. Doctors would also have been permitted to kill people suffering with treatable chronic depression. This bill was defeated on second reading, 59 votes in favour to 228 votes Against. [Apr 21, 2010] |
No | |
| Bill C-510, to protect pregnant women from coercion to abort This private member's bill by Conservative MP Rod Bruinooge, also called Roxanne's Law, was a common sense bill to protect women and their unborn children from coercion to abort. Abortion coercion by boyfriends, husbands, relatives and even physicians is very common in Canada. Unfortunately, the bill was defeated in 2nd reading by a vote of 97 to 178. [December 15, 2010] |
Yes | |
| Bill C-304, 2nd Reading - to repeal the censorship provision (Sect 13) of the Canadian Human Rights Act This clause enables Human Rights Tribunals to abuse their power by acting as 'thought police' to opress freedom of speech and freedom of conscience. They usually target Christians who hold to biblical moral teachings, especially in the area of homosexuality. For example, the Catholic Bishop of Calgary was dragged before an HRC kangaroo court for merely issuing a pastoral letter in which he reiterated his Church's teaching against homosexual conduct. This vote passed 158-131. (Feb 15, 2012 ) |

Here are quotes from Jason Kenney on various life and family issues:
On honouring notorious abortionist Henry Morgentaler with the Order of Canada: "I'm deeply disturbed by this nomination. It violates profoundly the spirit of the Order of Canada which is a symbol that is supposed to unite Canadians. Instead, the advisory council has chosen to divide Canadians. Those members of the council who made this deliberately contentious choice were more interested in using the Order as a vehicle for their own political views on a contentious issue rather than as a unifying symbol..." [LifeSiteNews.com, 'Canadian Cabinet Minister Kenney 'Deeply Disturbed' that Abortion Doc Awarded Order of Canada'Jul 3, 2008]
Explaining why the traditional definition of marriage already respected the principle of equality under the law, contrary to the claims of homosexual activists: "The fact is that homosexuals aren't barred from marrying under Canadian law. Marriage is open to everybody, as long as they're a man and a woman. It doesn't say you can't marry if you're a homosexual. The fact is that homosexuals have been married and do marry. Marriage -- in the eYes of those of us who support traditional marriage -- is, by its nature, a heterosexual institution that requires the complementarity of the sexes. Virtually every minority ethnic or religious group in Canada has deeply set tradition with respect to family and marriage." [CTV.CA article, Feb. 14, 2005]
On the right to legal protection for children in the womb: "I am 29 years old. I, through my entire life, have known nothing but the legal availability of abortion on demand in Canada. My generation has been the imperiled generation … Canadians neverdreamed, 29 years ago today, that the law passed in the Criminal Code would lead to the most wide-open abortion regime in the world, where the unborn are unprotected even until they are fully delivered from their mothers’ wombs … Canadians never dreamed it could have been possible 29 years ago and it’s hard for us to believe it’s possible today.
I just want to say to you that we can never give up. We don’t have permission to give up. We have to keep fighting and to remember the founding words of liberal democracy in the (U.S.) Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. Among these is the right to life.”
Canada is founded on principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law … Someday, we will come back – either ourselves, our children or our children’s children – and celebrate the restoration of those inalienable rights." [Speech given at the National March For Life, March 14, 1998]
On abortion as a non-medically necessary procedure. Note: This question is important because the Canada Health Act says that ONLY "medically necessary" must be funded by the provinces: Frankly, I was confused by your submission.. you refer to abortion as a medically necessary service... Quoting from your submission, though, you say in the seventh paragraph that women who obtain abortions do so for socio-economic reasons. Sometimes it is a desire to complete their education and become financially independent. In many cases, couples with children, wish to restrict their family size in order to provide them with adequate financial support. You indicate that they are often choosing abortion as a conscious decision not to become a socio-economic burden on society. How can a service that is sought and obtained for social and economic reasons be medically necessary?
Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Jason Kenney on 2015.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| If elected, will you strive to introduce and pass laws to protect unborn children from the time of conception (fertilization) onward? | no response |
| If elected, would you support all legislative or policy proposals that would result in a meaningful increase of respect and protection for unborn human life? | Yes (based on vote record) |
| Are there any circumstances under which you believe a woman should have access to abortion? (note: Medical treatments to save the life of a mother and which result in the UNINTENDED death of her unborn child, are NOT abortions. Eg. in case of tubal pregnancy or cervical cancer) | no response |
| If elected, will you oppose any legislative or regulatory measures designed to permit the deliberate euthanasia of a human being or designed to permit "doctor-assisted suicide"? | no response |
| If elected, will you oppose any legislative or regulatory measures designed to permit the deliberate killing (euthanasia) of a human being regardless of age, state of health, or "anticipated quality of life" or designed to permit "doctor-assisted suicide"? | Yes (based on vote record) |
