1988 election

Wappel won the Scarborough West Liberal nomination in 1988 in an upset over Patrick Johnston, a star candidate who had been personally recruited by party leader John Turner.^[2] Relatively unknown before the campaign, Wappel was supported by members of the anti-abortion group Campaign Life, and his platform included a reference to "respect for human life, from conception to the natural end of life".^[3] He nevertheless criticized the media for protraying him as a single-issue candidate.^[4] 1988 (MCMLXXXVIII) was a leap year starting on a Friday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Campaign Life is a Canadian anti-abortion group, largely centred in the province of Ontario. ...

He narrowly elected, defeating Progressive Conservative incumbent Reg Stackhouse by 440 votes. During the election, Campaign Life activists circulated a pamphlet which described Stackhouse as supporting "baby-killing" in some circumstances.^[5] There is no evidence that Wappel personally endorsed the pamphlet. The Progressive Conservative Party of Canada (PC) was a Canadian centre-right conservative political party that existed from 1867 to 2003. ... Reginald Francis Stackhouse (born April 30, 1925) is a Canadian educator and former politician. ...

Leadership candidate

Wappel was the first declared candidate for the Liberal Party's 1990 leadership convention, announcing his candidacy on June 29, 1989. He described himself as the only candidate willing to make abortion a leadership issue,^[6] and was quoted as saying, "Rape and incest are terrible and lamentable tragedies but they cannot possibly be compounded by the further tragedy of destroying human life."^[7] Wappel also called for increased immigration to Canada and harsher penalties against drug traffickers, while opposing the Meech Lake Accord and "distinct society" status for Quebec.^[8] After declaring his candidacy, he advised pro-life groups in Canada against forming their own political party.^[9] The first three leaders of the Liberal Party of Canada were not chosen at a convention. ...

Wappel was criticized at one all-candidates meeting for opposing federal daycare programs, and for arguing that the Canadian government should promote stay-at-home parenting.^[10] Later in the campaign, he claimed that he did not consider single-parent households or homosexual couples to be families.^[11]

He was formally endorsed in March 1990 by Liberals for Life, an anti-abortion pressure group working inside the Liberal Party.^[12] In his nomination speech, Wappel called for abortion to be made a criminal offense with a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.^[13] Liberals for Life was an anti-abortion pressure group that worked within the Liberal Party of Canada during the 1980s and early 1990s. ...

Wappel finished in fourth place, while Jean Chrétien was elected leader on the first ballot. The Liberal constitution was amended following Chrétien's victory, permitting the leader to appoint candidates in certain ridings. Chrétien defended the change as necessary to prevent "single-issue groups" from taking over the Liberal Party. It is generally understood that Liberals for Life was the primary target of this remark.^[14] The Right Honourable Joseph Jacques Jean Chrétien, PC, QC, BA, LL.L, LL.D (born January 11, 1934) was the twentieth Prime Minister of Canada, serving from November 4, 1993, to December 12, 2003. ...

Opposition MP

Wappel created controversy in 1991 by proposing the creation of special detainment camps (to be known as Welcome Centres) for refugees arriving in Canada. Claimants would be provided with food, lodging and clothing, but would not be permitted to work outside the centre until receiving formal approval. His proposal also called for any immigrant claimant with AIDS or HIV be rejected automatically. Wappel's suggestions were immediately dismissed by the Liberal Party leadership,^[15] and were widely criticized in the Canadian media.^[16] He was dismissed as the Liberal Party's Immigration Critic in early 1992,^[17] and appointed critic for the Solicitor-General. In the latter capacity, Wappel called for increased safeguards within Canada's parole system.^[18] 1991 (MCMXCI) is a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Wappel was given an endorsement from the Canadian Police Association in the 1993 federal election.^[19] He focused on "law and order" and crime prevention issues,^[20] and was easily re-elected as the Liberals won a majority government across the country. He was not given a cabinet position. After the election, he brought forward a private member's bill to establish a national witness protection program^[21] and called for tougher provisions under Canada's Young Offenders Act.^[22] The Canadian Police Association is a former organization of police officers in Canada. ...

Government MP

Wappel's social conservatism has caused him to be increasingly marginalized in the Liberal Party since 1993 (for example, he continues to regularly present anti-abortion petitions to Parliament). He was a vocal opponent of his government's plan to extend anti-discrimination protection to homosexuals in 1994, claiming that "Homosexuality is statistically abnormal, it's physically abnormal and it's morally immoral".^[23] Some politicians and journalists called for Chrétien to expel Wappel from caucus after this comment, but no disciplinary action was taken.^[24] Later in the year, Wappel was quoted as saying, "Religion is virtually genetic, since it is passed from generation to generation. Homosexuality is not genetic, but a choice."^[25] 1994 (MCMXCIV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International year of the Family. ...

He was re-elected for a third term in the 1997 election, again running on a "law and order" platform. After the election, he introduced a private member's bill which, he argued, would prohibit people convicted of serious crimes (and their relatives and collaborators) from receiving any financial benefit resulting from artistic depictions of their criminal activities. The bill was supported by some members of the law enforcement community, but was criticized by artists and was often described as poorly drafted. Toronto journalist Michael Valpy dismissed it as "legal gibberish" and "a piece of junk".^[26] Despite last-minute modifications, it was rejected by the Canadian Senate in 1998.^[27] 36th Parliament The Canadian federal election of 1997 was held on June 2, 1997, to elect members of the Canadian House of Commons. ...

Also in 1998, Wappel introduced legislation to provide for better nutritional labels on food products sold in grocery stores. His measure was supported by the Alliance for Food Label Reform. Wappel argued that the bill would "help consumers to improve their diets and to reduce their risk of heart disease and cancer".^[28] In 2004, he introduced a separate bill to require fast food restaurants to list calories on their menus.^[29]

Wappel campaigned to become Speaker of the Canadian House of Commons in 2001, seeking support from backbench Liberals and opposition members. He was eliminated after the first ballot in a secret vote by all Members of Parliament (MPs).^[30] Current house speaker Peter Milliken In Canada the Speaker of the House of Commons (French: Président de la Chambre des communes) is the presiding officer of the lower house and is elected by fellow MPs. ... 2001: A Space Odyssey. ... A Member of Parliament, or MP, is a representative elected by the voters of an electoral district to a parliament; in the Westminster system, specifically to the lower house. ...

He faced increased media scrutiny later in 2001 after refusing to help a constituent, a veteran, whom he suspected of supporting a rival candidate in the previous election. Wappel wrote a letter that said, in part, "How is it that you are writing me for my help if you did not think enough of my abilities to justify voting for me?"^[31] Chrétien reprimanded Wappel after the letter was made public, and Wappel was forced to apologize.^[32] In the aftermath of the controversy, one journalist described Wappel as "a man who won his Liberal nomination many years ago on the back of a special interest group and still apparently hasn't learned anything about the public interest".^[33] He later said, "I wrote a stupid letter. Most voters understand that, unless there are people in the riding who had never made a stupid mistake. I hope they will forgive me."^[34] 2001: A Space Odyssey. ... A veteran refers to a person who is experienced in a particular area, particularly referring to people in the armed forces. ...

Wappel joined with fifteen other Liberal MPs to call for Jean Chrétien to resign in July 2002,^[35] and endorsed Paul Martin's bid to succeed Chrétien as party leader.^[36] The Right Honourable Paul Edgar Philippe Martin, PC, MP, BA, LLB (born August 28, 1938, in Windsor, Ontario) is the Prime Minister of Canada. ...

Later in 2002, Wappel was unexpectedly elected as chair of the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans by a free vote of other committee members.^[37] In June 2003, he issued a report arguing that federal bureaucrats had "badly managed" the sockeye salmon fishery in British Columbia's Fraser River in 2001.^[38] Wappel still chairs this committee as of 2005.

He was a prominent opponent of his government's same-sex marriage legislation in 2005, describing it as "discriminatory, a sham, and a hoax".^[39] According to one report, Wappel told Prime Minister Martin at a private caucus meeting that he was "profoundly disappointed" with Martin's handling of the issue.^[40] There was some media speculation that Wappel would join fellow MP Pat O'Brien in leaving the Liberal caucus over the issue, but he chose to remain within the party.^[41].
