LifeSite responds to “corrections” from Alliance Justice Critic regarding LifeSite report Yesterday LifeSite reported on the soft-glove treatment Svend Robinson’s Private Members’ Bill received by all parties in the House, including the ostensibly conservative Canadian Alliance. The Bill, C-415, expands the Criminal Code definition of identifiable groups relating to genocide and hate propaganda by including sexual orientation as an identifiable group.
Alliance MP Vic Toews, who, as the Justice Critic, is responsible for drafting the party’s response to this bill, challenged LifeSite on several points of fact. He (actually the letter was signed off by his legislative assistant) stressed that the Canadian Alliance is opposing the bill. That might be so, but pro-family groups have told LifeSite that this opposition is of little consequence if not backed up with strong action and compelling arguments, both of which seem lacking in the current Alliance strategy for the bill.
