Overall Rating: +4 A very strong choice for cabinet.
My advice to Vic Toews: (1) Protect Marriage, work to build a coalition within Parliament to ensure that new legislation will have enough votes to pass quickly. Once the issue is voted on, I don't think Canadians will want to hear any more about it. (2) Keep up the good work by finding the right judges to appoint. (3) Just keep up the good work.
