Victory For Our Children
Calgary, AB - February 28, 2008
Canada Family Action Coalition rejoices with the news that the Senate passed Bill C-2 raising the age of sexual protection to 16. President, Dr. Charles McVety, says "finally Canada has come to its senses and joined the rest of the civilized world protecting 14 and 15 year-old boys and girls from being sexually violated by adults. Our seven year campaign has paid off and the result is a safer Canada for our children. The myth that progressive liberation of sexual behavior to the lowest common denominator cannot be overturned, has been shattered".
Dr. Brian Rushfeldt, Canada Family Action Coalition Executive Director adds "I want to congratulate the 750,000 Canadians that signed the age of protection petition and advocated for the children. This victory is proof positive that individuals can make a difference and right the wrongs perpetrated by insensitive legislators acting on behalf of special interests, instead of the good of people. Canada just became a safer place"
We thank Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Justice Minister Rob Nicholson, the Members of Parliament that voted for the Bill, the 19 courageous Senators that voted for it and the "brave" Senators that abstained. "At least we have 19 adults in the Senate who will do the responsible and right thing", said Rushfeldt.
Canada's global image has just changed also. We may no longer be the child sex destination we were for those perverts who abuse children.
