Dupuy ethics flap rocks Parliament Hill debate
The Reform party highlights a breach of ethics as Micheal Dupuy, minister for Canadian Heritage, wrote a letter to the CRTC supporting a constituent’s license bid. Prime Minister Chretien shifts positions, ethics counselings appear uncontrolled, while broader Liberal plans on predator legislation face constitutional concerns and public alarm over safety. Concerns spread from Dawson Creek after Larry Fisher’s release.

Recall bill defeat and justice reform woes in BC and Ottawa
The November 1994 column notes MP recall legislation defeated in the House 179 to 40 after BC voters signaled for recall in 1991. It contrasts calls for practical recall with the failings of the current process and argues reform hinges on a federal Reform government. It also cites crime concerns as driving public demand for accountability.
