Prime Minister Stephen Harper: Government Spokesman

Missing Persons Families Association Dept: After his 2009 appointment to the Senate by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the media-savvy Mr. Boisvenu became a government spokesman on law-and-order issues, lashing out repeatedly at other parties as soft on crime and as siding with criminals instead of victims, according to Globe and Mail. I share the pain he has felt as a father, said Liberal MP Denis Coderre. But he s a senator and he can t be inciting suicide, that goes against the Criminal Code. Mr. Boisvenu is well-known in Quebec for launching a group of victims of crime the Murdered or Missing Persons Families Association after his daughter was abducted, raped and murdered by a repeat offender in 2002. He lost another daughter to a car accident in 2005. Now, however, his political opponents say Mr. Boisvenu has crossed the line and is letting his emotions over his lost daughters overtake his political judgment. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
