OTTAWA, (LifeSiteNews) – When Stephen Harper’s Conservatives stopped funding the long-running Court Challenges Program in September 2006, they put an end to what pro-life lawyer Gwen Landolt describes as the most “corrupt, discriminatory and biased programs devised in Canada.”
And it’s a program Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised to bring back.
Landolt, vice president of REAL Women of Canada, says she has no doubt that a restored Court Challenges Program will be used, as was its predecessor, by left-wing and anti-life feminist groups as a “a way to get social policies implemented by the courts,” by launching taxpayer-funded Charter-based court challenges.
