During this last hectic week in parliament, and amid all the acrimony and petty bickering which we have been paying for while nothing else is going on in the way of good government, five members of our federal legislature distinguished themselves as people who have principles and are willing to stand up for them. Agree with them or not, it is refreshing to see some semblance of personal integrity becoming visible in that ‘wreck-room’ we call Parliament.
CHUCK CADMAN
Cadman's 16-year-old son Jesse was murdered on October 18, 1992. He and his wife Dona later founded a group to lobby the government to increase sentences in criminal cases, particularly for young offenders. He was first elected to Parliament for Surrey North in the 1997 election as a member of the Reform Party of Canada. He was reelected under the banner of the Canadian Alliance in the 2000 election, and was appointed Justice Critic.
