While the political debate over abortion will continue for a very long time, the federal government can and should be doing more to support programs and services that provide women with better options.

It'll certainly bring debate, as the opposition will say the government is helping bankers. But as the government proves it'll boost investments, economic growth and create jobs, we'll manage to get it passed.

We will not earn any more money from the charter of these three vessels to the government than we would have by operating them according to our post-Katrina plan. However, there is a possibility that we could earn a little bit less.

I am opposed to abortion and to government funding of abortions.

I don't believe an Alliance government should sponsor legislation on abortion or a referendum on abortion.

He will take the blame (if things go wrong). He's never one time made an excuse of anybody else. He's so humble in what he's been given. He realizes his God-given gift and that's the most amazing thing about him. He's going to be hard to replace.
