 But I've been very clear in this campaign - I don't believe the party should have a position on abortion. |
| I've always been clear, I support the traditional definition of marriage. |
| Whether Canada ends up as o-ne national government or two national governments or several national governments, or some other kind of arrangement is, quite frankly, secondary in my opinion. |
| I have no difficulty with the recognition of civil unions for non-traditional relationships but I believe in law we should protect the traditional definition of marriage. |
| I think the way to change it is to handle issues individually when it's essential to do so. |
| It's the government's obligation to look really to the third parties to get the support to govern. |
| After all, enforced national bilingualism in this country isn't mere policy. It has attained the status of a religion. It's a dogma which o-ne is supposed to accept without question. |
| Universality has been severely reduced: it is virtually dead as a concept in most areas of public policy. |
| On the justification for the war, it wasn't related to finding any particular weapon of mass destruction. |
| My own views on abortion, I'm not on either pole of that and neither of the interest groups on either end of this issue would probably be comfortable with my views. |
| We have in this country a federal government that increasingly is engaged in trying to determine which business, which regions, which industries will succeed, which will not through a whole range of economic development, regional development corporate subsidization programs. |
| Human rights commissions, as they are evolving, are an attack on our fundamental freedoms and the basic existence of a democratic society... It is in fact totalitarianism. I find this is very scary stuff. |
| The Leader of the Opposition's constitutional obligation - the obligation to Parliament - it's the reason we did the merger! - is to make sure Canadians have an alternative for government. |
| If you want to be a government in a minority Parliament, you have to work with other people. |
| Canada remains alienated from its allies, shut out of the reconstruction process to some degree, unable to influence events. There is no upside to the position Canada took. |
| What the government has to do, if it wants to govern for any length of time, is it must appeal primarily to the third parties in the House of Commons to get them to support it. |
| That's my personal view I would say most in my caucus agree with that but there are some who don't and I've always said that on these kinds of moral issues, people have the right to their own opinions. |
| I don't believe an Alliance government should sponsor legislation on abortion or a referendum on abortion. |
| As a religion, bilingualism is the god that failed. It has led to no fairness, produced no unity, and cost Canadian taxpayers untold millions. |
| The world is now unipolar and contains o-nly o-ne superpower. Canada shares a continent with that superpower. |
