Dads protest Justice Minister

By CHRIS VERNON Staff Reporter

About 35 protesters took their message directly to Etobicoke-centre MP and Justice Minister Allan Rock" campaign office just after it opened its doors Sunday. Two father-advocacy groups, Fathers are Capable Too and Dads Canada, have rented offices a mere 20 metres from Rock's 4180 Dundas Street West campaign office. Angry about Canada's divorce and support laws, the protesters vow to keep Rock from being reelected. "We want to send a message to Ottawa that we won't tolerate any injustice in this country," said Robb. The bill currently awaits royal assent. However, Rock said the groups shouldn't worry about Bill C-41. "Access to their children is their concern. Bill C41 doesn't address access," said Rock. Stacy Robb, director of operations for Dads Canada. Rock insists he will investigate the groups' concerns. "Lets work together," said Rock, when asked about the groups' protest. Robb said members of Dads Canada and Fathers are Capable Too are angry about Bill C-41. Once law, the bill would have the power to revoke the passports of fathers who don't pay their court ordered child support, said Robb.
