STATEMENTS BY MEMBERS - JUNE 2, 2010
OTTAWA, June 2, 2010 — Mr. Speaker, this weekend Catholic Archdiocese of Regina is celebrating its 100th anniversary. For a century now, the Archdiocese has united individuals and families in their spirituality and in their commitment to the community.
The Catholic faithful in Regina offer services to the entire community, including outreach for the poor and homeless, family services, education, and of course spiritual guidance. As its centennial song states, “They toiled and laboured, in field and factory, to work God's creation and make it bear fruit, their joy was unbounded as God blessed their efforts and smiled on their labours, a great faith took root”.
I hope all members of the House will join me in wishing the Catholic Archdiocese of Regina a happy 100th.
I am proud to live in a country that welcomes the contribution of all faith communities. There was a time when belonging to certain religions was grounds for exclusion from public office. As I join in the celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the Catholic Archdiocese of Regina, I am grateful that those times are over.

SCHEER APPLAUDS CONSERVATIVE PLAN TO END PARDONS FOR SERIOUS CRIMES
Regina-Qu’Appelle MP says legislation will help protect children and communities
OTTAWA, May 11, 2010 — Regina-Qu’Appelle MP Andrew Scheer applauded legislation announced today by Conservative Public Safety Minster Vic Toews to eliminate pardons for serious crimes.
“People in our communities are outraged when they hear about serious crimes being whitewashed through Canada’s system of pardons,” said Scheer. “My colleagues and I in the Conservative government agree that the seriousness of crime doesn’t diminish just because a certain amount of time has passed. This legislation will help protect our children and our communities, and it will better reflect our natural sense of justice.”
