Anti-Choice Mps 2015 Canada Election Results – Anti-choice MPs October 21, 2015 By Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada History: Prior to 2015 election (last updated Feb 2015) After May 2011 election (last updated Sept 2012) After 2008 election (last updated April 2011) Anti-choice Total Anti-choice Pro-choice Unknown Incumbents Who Party Seats Anti-choice MPs** Incumbents MPs*** Stance Resigned Won Defeated Before Election Liberal 184 7* (4%) 177* (96%) not counted* 0 0 Conservative 99 54 (55%) 4 (4%) 41 (41%) 35 28 NDP 44 0 44 0 0 0 Bloc 10 0 10 0 0 0 Quebecois Green 1 0 1 0 0 0 Independent 0 0 0 0 1 1 Total 338 61 (18%) 236 (70%) 41 (12%) 36 29 (Excluding Libs: 16%) *All Liberal MPs have agreed and will be required to vote pro-choice on any abortion-related bills/motions. Also, Trudeau won’t likely allow anti-choice MPs to introduce their own bills/motions, or publicly advocate against abortion rights. Therefore, these MPs should not pose any threat, although they should be monitored. Likewise, Liberal MPs not on this 2014 pro-choice list may warrant monitoring to ensure they adhere to the party’s pro-choice policy. **Anti-choice MPs are designated as anti-choice based on at least one of these reasons: Voted in favour of Bill C-484 and/or Bill C-510 and/or Motion 312 Opposed the Order of Canada for Dr. Henry Morgentaler in 2008 Made public anti-choice or “pro-life” statements Participated publicly in anti-choice events or campaigns Rated as “pro-life” by Campaign Life Coalition Past sources listed at History links above. Please email [email protected] if you have additional information. ***Pro-choice MPs: Estimate includes Conservative MPs with a public pro-choice position and/or pro-choice voting record. It also includes all Liberal MPs (except the 7 anti-choice ones) and all MPs from all other parties based on the assumption they are pro-choice or will vote pro-choice.

  • Indigenous People and Parliament P. 24 Moving Forward Together
    Canadian eview V olume 39, No. 2 Moving Forward Together: Indigenous People and Parliament p. 24 The Mace currently in use in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan was made in 1906 and used for the first time in March of that year at the opening of the First Session of the First Legislative Assembly. Purchased from Ryrie Bros. Ltd. of Toronto at a cost of $340.00, it is made of heavy gold-plated brass and is about four feet long. The head consists of a Royal Crown with the arches surmounted by a Maltese cross and bears the Royal Coat-of-Arms on the top indicating the Royal Authority. Each side is decorated with a sheaf of wheat, representing the province’s agricultural wealth, a beaver representing Canada and the monogram E.R. VII, representing the sovereign at the time, Edward VII. The shaft and base are ornamented with a shamrock, thistle and rose intertwined. A Latin inscription around the Royal Coat of Arms reads in English, “Edward the Seventh, by the Grace of God of British Isles and Lands beyond the sea which are under British rule, King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India”. Monique Lovett Manager of Interparliamentary Relations and Protocol Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan Courtesy of British Columbia Legislative Library Stick Talking BC Legislature, The Canadian Parliamentary Review was founded in 1978 to inform Canadian legislators about activities of the federal, provincial and territorial branches of the Canadian Region of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association and to promote the study of and interest in Canadian parliamentary institutions.
