How much taxpayer money is going towards this event? It would be nice to know, with all the services being cut or reduced around Canada, I'm sure the taxpayer would like to know what is being spent on religion.

Separate religion from politics. This is shameful to have this religious fundamentalism in Canadian politics. Where is the representation of persons that disagree with religion did they get a chance to speak? I strongly object to TAX Payers money going to support religion. They get enough free tax breaks on the backs of Canadians. Call for freedom from religion or freedom of religion means nothing.

Hello; The cost to attend the breakfast was $60 (sixty dollars) per person. A bit much for eggs and sausage so I assume it covered any who attended for "free". You can confirm this by contacting the chairman Colin Mayes, MP. Please check your facts before you make accusations. In Canada you can host an event to discuss freedoms of any kind.

Canada is a nation that was built, established and thriving because of its Christian faith foundation. Truth is a Constant that does not change, it is not subject to time, circumstance or opinion. Canada Was / Is a land blessed by God to be a blessing to the nations! Think clearly for a moment, by comparing the condition of our country to that of other lands that don't know the Name / pray in the Name of Jesus. May our Government and all Leadership continually remember man's knowledge, understanding and efforts are dwarfed by God's wisdom and power. *A truth clearly visible as one sees the decline and degeneration manifesting everywhere and in every way, because the truth of the one and only living God has been exchanged for gods made in the minds and by the hands of men. So, my prayer continues; God be merciful and gracious to us...blessing leadership that they would be a blessing (of benefit and profit) to this land and its peoples. Truth and Love the Canadian pillars of our government and society that will grow, thrive and prosper every person individually and this wonderful nation as a whole! Amen.

I admire the bloc. They intelligently avoid the populist neo-liberal tendencies in contemporary politics in North America and Europe.
