CANADIAN DELEGATION AT

UN COMMISSION ON THE STATUS OF WOMEN 2007


It is little wonder that Canada took such a perverse position on sex based abortions at the UN’s Commission on the Status of Women. A quick look at who was on the Canadian delegation at that meeting explains a great deal. They include:

It is significant that, at the April 20, 2005 meeting of the UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva, Henri-Paul Normandin (see above), who was then the Foreign Affairs Director of Human Rights, International Women’s Equality Division, supported a report in support of the full recognition of abortion services and the acceptance of homosexuality.


In a consultation, held by Canadian Foreign Affairs, with Canada’s NGO’s, including REAL Women of Canada, on February 7, 2006, Mr. Normandin stated:


It is the responsibility and duty of those elected, as well as civil servants, to provide direction to Foreign Affairs.


When will the Conservative government rid itself of these feminist ideologues who seem to dominate the public service in Ottawa? We need a broom to sweep out the Foreign Affairs Department (among others) and its public servants who are using their positions as public servants, both within Canada and on our delegations at international conferences, to force an agenda, unbeknownst to Canadians, which destroys society and families. It is a big job to get rid of these obnoxious, unpleasant and narrow-minded public servants, but it has to be done.


The Conservative government has been in power for 16 months – how much longer before the government, rather than the public servants, take charge of Canada’s international policies?
