(AgapePress) - A Canadian pro-family activist says he doubts Parliament will address the issue of restoring the traditional definition of marriage during the fall session that is under way in Ottawa.

When Stephen Harper was elected prime minister in January, he pledged to revisit this contentious issue. The previous Liberal government had passed the bill that legalized homosexual "marriage" in Canada. But Brian Rushfeldt of the Canada Family Action Coalition says he does not see any immediate move to revisit the law.

"There are so many high-priority issues that they're dealing with right now that this particular issue probably will not surface in Parliament," he says, "but I think on the broader scale, the misuse of tax dollars in our nation by the bureaucrats is going to surface."

The family advocate believes lawmakers in his country are going to have to deal with that issue of misuse of taxpayer's money -- and the taxpayers, he predicts, are not going to be happy with what they hear.

"We now see millions of dollars being filtered through bureaucrats into organizations that produce absolutely atrocious [material on sex] for kids," Rushfeldt explains. "And I think on the broad scale, the taxpayer in Canada is going to get very, very violent shortly when they continue to find out that their tax dollars are funding such absolute atrocities."

Now that same-sex marriage is legal in Canada, he says, its advocates are demanding federal dollars to indoctrinate Canadian children. "The schools and the education system, of course, are saying 'We have to teach the laws of Canada.' How do [they] do that?" Rushfeldt asks. "By introducing issues about homosexual behavior, about sodomy, [and] about ... queer culture, [which] is another thing that's being introduced."

Parliament, Rushfeldt predicts, is going to eventually deal with the marriage issue, but possibly not until sometime next year.
