OTTAWA, April 2, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A Liberal-dominated Commons Committee announced Thursday that an election call will be delayed until testimony from Chuck Guite, a key figure in the federal sponsorship affair, is made public. Guite is not due back from his holidays until April 22 or 23.
The bill, which would add 'sexual orientation' to Canada's hate crimes law, is delayed now until the Senate's scheduled return on April 20. This means the Senate will have time to vote on Bill C-250 before the expected testimony from Guite.
A small group of pro-family Senators, led especially by the fearless Liberal Senator Cools, worked intensely this week, using every tactic available to them, to successfully delay a vote on C-250.
Pro-family groups are urging all concerned Canadians to continue to flood the Senators and Liberal leader Paul Martin and Conservative leader Stephen Harper with calls and emails asking them to stop the bill.
