Statement of Principles

WE BELIEVE THAT:

• The Judeo-Christian tradition is the foundation to Canadian society and the basis of the rule of law; therefore no one stands above the law and the law applies equally to all.
  
  
• Human beings have an inalienable right to life and the first duty of government is to protect that right from conception to natural death.
  
  
• Marriage of a man and a woman is God ordained for mutual support, nurturing of children and the overall well being of society.
  
  
• Parents have primary responsibility for the raising and educating of their children.
  
  
• Government should not unduly interfere with the parents' efforts in carrying out this responsibility.
  
  
• Strong, vital and independent voluntary institutions such as families, churches and schools are essential to the maintenance of a free and democratic society.
  
  
• Citizens should participate in community life and the political process.
  
  
• All Canadians should help their fellow citizens, especially those who cannot care for themselves.
  
  
• Freedom of religion and freedom of expression are essential in a democratic society.
