A Liberal MP has stated today that a number of his colleagues have made up their mind to endorse same-sex legislation. He will personally stand firm and vote against it but he erroneously concluded that the “die was pretty much cast”. 

“The battle has not even begun”, said Jim Hughes, National President of Campaign Life Coalition (CLC). “We need the MPs who are against same-sex “marriage” and same-sex “unions” to take heart and prepare for a fierce battle on this issue. The Canadian people are stirred up and watching their MPs closely. The Churches are taking their rightful place with a firm defense of marriage which is one man and one woman. They are encouraging their flocks to act,” he continued. “This is not the time for MPs to concede defeat before the issue is even introduced.”

“The Prime Minister is so rightly frightened of the results of the vote that he is afraid to allow his cabinet to vote freely,” said Mary Ellen Douglas, National Organizer of CLC. “The grassroots people are opposed to this proposed legislation and they need to be heard by their MPs.” 

Campaign Life Coalition is directing its supporters to contact their MPs and to defeat any MP in the next election who votes in favour of Paul Martin’s campaign to change the definition of marriage.
