VANCOUVER, Aug 19 (LSN) – The July 27 edition of BC Report magazine published Vancouver’s Archbishop Adam Exner’s condemnation of the NDP BC government’s plans to extend spousal pension benefits to public servants who are practicing homosexuals. Exner suggested an alternative approach to the issue that would not require affirmation of homosexuality, which he called immoral. He said the government ought to allow employees to name the pension beneficiary of their choice, not tying eligibility to sexual activity. Attorney General Ujjal Dosanjh rejected the Archbishop’s proposal as too costly. Dosanjh claimed, when announcing the homosexual benefits, that taxpayers would not pay “one red cent” more under the government’s scheme. B.C. superannuation commissioner John Cook backed Dosanjh’s claim but refused to comment on the accuracy of Dosanjh’s claim that Archbishop Exner’s proposal would “cost too much.”
