Cheryl Gallant
From the Liberal Party website "Controversial Alliance Conservative MP has once again made national news for her irresponsible comments regarding Bill C-250 hate propaganda legislation:
“The danger in having sexual orientation just listed, that encompasses for example pedophiles. I believe that the caucus as a whole would like to see it repealed.” (Cheryl Gallant, CTV News, June 5, 2004)
In a tax-payer funded brochure Gallant sent to her constituents shortly before the election campaign she also attacked Bill C-250 incredibly claiming under the law the Bible would “be outlawed by the Liberal government.”
This is just the latest in a long list of bizarre policy positions Gallant has taken in her short political career:
· Gallant went way over the top in describing the firearms registry:
"Are we going to go like lambs to the gas chamber as the Chretien Liberals strip away our rights?" (Cheryl Gallant, National Post, November 21, 2000)
· The horse-racing industry was furious after Gallant accused the industry of links with organized crime during a speech in the House of Commons:
“Unfortunately, the horse racing industry is often penetrated by organized crime.'' (Cheryl Gallant, Canadian Press, August 29, 2003)
She opposed Liberal government plans to extend parental leave to one year”
“At first glance to women of pregnancy prone age, this proposal may seem to be one of the best things about Canada. However, even with the current six-month leave, a functioning uterus can be an impediment to getting a job in the first place. Were it not for the idiocy of the Liberals contemplating the extrapolation spousal benefits to roommates, it could be argued that parental leave discriminates against infertile couples -- but that may lead to the risks of extending parental leave payments to those who merely go through the motions!” (Cheryl Gallant, Fredericton Daily Gleaner, October 28, 1999)
· On Stockwell Day:
"We are on a mission to save Canada. …Stockwell Day has proven himself a man who will not recant his beliefs even under the most extreme pressure." (Cheryl Gallant, Toronto Star, February 16, 2002)"
