Welcome

Dear friends,

Welcome to my web site.  I hope that you will find it site interesting and helpful to you in your endeavors. 

As  a Senator from Toronto, I have been keenly engaged in questions such as financial accountability, ministerial responsibility to Parliament, constitutionalism, parliamentary supremacy, and the proper relationship between the cabinet, Parliament and the courts.  I have also been very involved in family law particularly marriage and divorce.

I am deeply committed to the motion that after the divorce of parents, the children have a need and an entitlement to meaningful involvement with both parents, both mothers and fathers.  I am also convinced of the importance of fathers in their children's lives.  I am aware that fatherlessness is a major social problem.  I am concerned that ill conceived public policy is dispossessing children of their fathers.

I have introduced many bills in the Senate, most recently Bill S-10    An Act to remove certain doubts regarding the meaning of marriage.  This Bill upholds the meaning of marriage as a voluntary union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others.

I am currently a member of The Senate Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs.

Sincerely,

Anne C. Cools
Hon. Anne C. Cools, Senator
