Paul Steckle
Paul Daniel Steckle (born May 10, 1942 in Zurich, Ontario) is a former Canadian Member of Parliament for Huron—Bruce and a member of the Liberal Party of Canada.〔(Parlinfo. Steckle, Paul Daniel. )〕
== Political positions ==
Steckle served as a Councillor in Stanley Township, Ontario from 1970 to 1980 and was subsequently elected as Reeve from 1980 to 1985.〔(Parlinfo. Steckle, Paul Daniel. )〕 In 1993, Steckle was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons as a Liberal from the riding of Huron-Bruce in the 1993 election. He continued to represent the riding of Huron-Bruce until his retirement in 2008.〔(Schwab, Dan. ''The Peterborough Examiner (Owen Sound Sun Times)''. “Steckle bows out of politics: Veteran Huron-Bruce MP looks forward to quieter times.” )〕
During his tenure, Steckle played a significant role in contributing to the committee process and served as a member on a number of different Standing Committees. Steckle also served in the role of Vice-Chair of the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food and the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans as well as Co-Chair and Chair of the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food.〔(Parlinfo. Steckle, Paul Daniel. )〕
During the 35th Canadian Parliament, Steckle was opposed to ''Bill C-68, An Act Respecting Firearms and Other Weapons'' (now the Firearms Act). In opposition to this Bill, he stated in the House of Commons “that we have adequate controls in place but we are simply not enforcing them” and that “Canadians must bear the responsibility of using their firearms in a responsible manner. The Government of Canada should not be asked to shoulder this burden. We must congratulate firearms owners in this nation for their initiatives into the area of the safe handling of firearms, not condemn them for their efforts.” 〔(Hansard. Government Orders. Firearms Act. ) 13 March 1995.〕 Steckle was one of three Liberal backbenchers who voted with the opposition against Bill C-68 and as a result Steckle was subsequently removed from his assignment on the Standing Committee of Agriculture and Agri-Food.〔(Pal, Leslie Alexander and R. Kent Weaver. ''The government taketh away: the politics of pain in the United States and Canada.'' USA: Georgetown University Press, Washington, D.C. 2003. Page 250 & 261. )〕
