Two weeks ago, on Dec 9, 2020,  I sent the following 7 questions to the MP Pam Damoff’s office about my concerns about federal policies and legislation. Once I have any feedback, I will update this post.

Question 1: 

The CTV News reports a recent case in Toronto, one man approached another man around 4 a.m. and attempted to rob him at a CIBC ATM. The man who attempted the robbery was knocked unconscious and later died in hospital. The victim of the robbery was charged with second-degree murder. It is not uncommon that a victim of a crime is charged. Based on the current Criminal Code, what are the proper force and to which degree can be used for self-defence? How about in the case of a home break-in? Do you believe the Criminal Code needs a review to grant law-abiding citizens more rights in self-defence?

Questions 2:

As a result of the May 1st, 2020, an Order in Council (OIC) from the Government of Canada categorized 1500 types of previously legally owned firearms as “restricted” under the Criminal Code. The ownership permits were “nullified”. With the increase of gun-involved crimes, does the Federal Government have solid data to support this control of legal firearms? A Toronto crime report has statistics about 52% of homicide involve illegal guns. TheGunBolg shows no legal gun owner involved in the crime of gun violence. The OIC is very questionable to control legal guns for fighting illegal-gun-related crimes. Do you support to present a Bill to the parliament and let all MPs have a chance to debate on gun control and public safety issues? An OIC must not revoke or nullify, whatever it’s called, legal ownership of personal properties.

Question 3:

Bill C-6 passed the second reading. This Bill has a big issue on the definition of “conversion therapy”. In your speech in the House of Commons, you quoted Dr. Travis Salway from the University of BC, who says “Conversion therapy is an umbrella term for practices that intend to change an individual’s sexual orientation and gender identity.” And you gave it a definition as “Conversion therapy refers to alleged treatments that seek to change the sexual orientation of bisexual, gay and lesbian individuals to heterosexual”. You can see your speech had two different definitions. In your definition,  “conversion therapy” is a one-way therapy, but under Dr. Travis Salway’s definition, it is multiple ways, could be from any sexual orientation to a different one. The definition of the main idea of the Bill is vague, this weak foundation Bill will be dangerous in practice. Since the word “conversion therapy” is very neutral, do you agree Dr. Travis Salway’s definition is more accurate? In that case, the Ontario Sex Education curriculum must not allow teaching anything related to sexual orientation conversion to avoid violating the C-6 once it becomes a law. Is this correct? According to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, 2 (a), which defines the freedom of conscience and religion is one of the fundamental freedoms. Does Bill C6 consult with the Canadian Christian and Muslim communities, or any other religious groups? We love everyone. Canadian laws must protect every Canadian’s rights and freedom. A new law must not deprive any constitutional rights of a Canadian.

Questions 4:

Do you support MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith’s private member’s bill, Bill C-235 and Bill C-236, which will decriminalize the possession of the controlled drugs and limit the police officers during law enforcement actions? On May 4th, 2017, MP Ron McKinnon’s private member bill C-224 become a law, which made exemption from charges for possession or charges related to the violation of certain conditions or orders a person who seeks emergency medical or law enforcement assistance. Bill-224 took effect 3 years ago. I don’t see any points for further decriminalization of the same matter. How do you think about that?

Question 5:

Will the Federal Government implement Basic Income? If so, do you support a flat amount for everyone or increasing the working-class income tax and only certain groups benefit from it to make it no longer “Basic”? 

Question 6:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, everything is slowed down. The energy consumption is much less than an ordinary year that leads to less emission. Will the Federal Government stop charging the Carbon Tax in the next fiscal year? If so, I believe that all Canadians will benefit from that.

Question 7:

The COVID-19 vaccine is coming to Canada. What is the plan to do independent safety testing? Rushing the new vaccine to the market could result in huge risks. We cannot forget the lesson learned from the 1955 Cutter Incident.

两个星期前，12月9日，我向本区联邦议员Pam Damoff办公室就我对联邦政策与立法的顾虑提出以下问题。如果我收到答复，我会更新这个网页。

问题1：

CTV新闻报道最近在多伦多发生的一起案件，一名男子于凌晨4点左右接近另一名男子，并试图在CIBC自动取款机上抢劫他。 企图抢劫的男子昏迷不醒，随后在医院死亡。 抢劫的受害者被指控犯有二级谋杀罪。 犯罪受害人被起诉的情况并不少见。 根据当前的《刑法》，什么是合适的武力可以用来自卫？ 如果面临家庭闯入怎么办？ 您是否认为需要对《刑法》进行审查，以赋予守法公民更多的自卫权？

问题2：

2020年5月1日加拿大政府颁布的行政命令（OIC）将1500种以前合法拥有的枪支归类为《刑法》中规定的“限制”类别。已经发放的该类枪支所有权许可证被“废除”。 随着枪支犯罪案件的增加，联邦政府是否有可靠的数据来支持对合法枪支的控制？ 多伦多的一份犯罪报告中统计数字表明大约52％的凶杀案涉及非法枪支。 TheGunBolg显示没有合法的枪支拥有者参与枪支暴力犯罪。 这项行政命令在控制合法枪支以打击与非法枪支有关的犯罪方面非常值得商榷。 您是否支持向议会提交法案，并让所有议员有机会就枪支管制和公共安全问题进行辩论？ 政府不应该通过行政命令撤销或废除个人财产的合法所有权。

问题3：

C-6号提案通过了二读。这项提案对“转换疗法”的定义有很大的问题。在下议院的讲话中，您引用了UBC的Travis Salway博士的话，他说：“转化疗法是旨在改变个人性取向和性别认同的行为的总称。”您在发言中给它下了一个定义：“转化疗法是指旨在将双性恋，同性恋者的性取向改变为异性恋”。您可以看到您的发言中有两个不同的定义。在您的定义中，“转换疗法”是一种单向疗法，但在Travis Salway博士的定义中，它具有多向性，可以是从任何性取向转换到任何一种其他性取向。这项提案中心思想的定义含糊不清，这样基础薄弱的法案在实践中会很危险。由于“转换疗法”一词非常中性，您是否同意Travis Salway博士的定义更准确？在这种情况下，安大略省性教育课程必须不允许教学与性取向转变有关的任何事情，以免违反C-6。这样理解对吗？根据《加拿大权利与自由宪章》 2（a），其中定义了良心和宗教自由是基本自由之一。 C6法案是否与加拿大基督教和穆斯林社区或任何其他宗教团体进行协商？我们爱每个人。加拿大法律必须保护每个加拿大人的权利和自由。新法律不应该剥夺加拿大人的任何宪法权利。

问题4：

您是否支持MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith的私人提案C-235和C-236，这将使拥有管制药物非刑事化，并在执法行动中限制警察的行为？ 2017年5月4日，MP Ron McKinnon的私人会员法案C-224已经成为一项法律，该法律豁免了拥有管制药物的人在寻求紧急医疗协助或执法协助时的刑事责任。 Bill-224法案于3年前生效。 我认为对于同一问题的进一步非刑事化没有任何意义。 您如何看待？

问题5：

联邦政府是否会实施基本收入？ 如果是这样，您是支持所有人可以获得同样的金额，还是提高工薪阶层的所得税，只有某些群体从中受益，从而使其不再是“基本”福利？

问题6：

在COVID-19大流行期间，一切都变慢了。 能源消耗远低于平常年份，从而使废气排放量减少。 联邦政府会在下一个财政年度停止征收碳税吗？ 如果是这样，我相信所有加拿大人将从中受益。

问题7：

COVID-19疫苗即将来到加拿大。 联邦政府进行独立安全测试的计划是什么？ 将新疫苗投入市场可能会带来巨大风险。 我们不能忘记从1955年的卡特实验室脊髓灰质炎疫苗事故的教训。
