Breitkreuz would cut off social assistance to anyone with family members who could support them or anyone who could seek help from private charities.
With Breitkreuz's Charter of Responsibilities, individual families would be forced to bear the burden of social welfare rather than it being shared broadly throughout society.
This provision could be used in court to block social and environmental legislation, which Breitkreuz describes as the "arbitrary intrusion of big government." Breitkreuz says that without property rights in the Constitution, Canada is not a democracy.

Breitkreuz provided the following Statistics Canada data to show how 70 years of registering handguns has failed to keep handguns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them:

Garry Breitkreuz, Member of Parliament (MP) from Saskatchewan and leader of the parliamentary opposition to the Firearms Act, told American Rifleman in a telephone interview that the government`s claim that its licensing and registration system could be implemented for $85 million over five years is "pure poppycock."

Saskatchewan Alliance MP Garry Breitkreuz, Official Opposition critic for Firearms and Justice, was on hand to explain his opposition to the registry.
Breitkreuz, who first coined the term “billion dollar boondoggle” to describe the initiative, estimates the current cost for the registry to be fast approaching two billion dollars although the Auditor General has only been able to tabulate costs of slightly more than 1 billion.
Breitkreuz said gun registry officials have no way of knowing whether the guns registered by phone -- all of which are non-restricted rifles and shotguns -- are the ones owners and sellers claim they are.

Garry Breitkreuz, a longtime gun registry opponent from Yorkton, Sask., said James Roszko's murderous rampage with an assault rifle last Thursday in Alberta illustrates a fatal flaw in the $2-billion federal program: criminals simply ignore it.

Breitkreuz said the figures, obtained under the Access to Information Act last August, show the government has consistently tried to hide or play down the program's cost.
The relatively low amount recovered in licence fees, reduced in last-ditch efforts to get gun owners to comply with the law, shows the government was wrong when it originally claimed the system would be self-financing, Breitkreuz said.
Fraser has not launched an official audit of the program, adopting the position of former auditor general Denis Desautels that an audit would be held off until the licensing and registration system was in place in 2003.

Saskatchewan Conservative MP Garry Breitkreuz, who discovered the existence of the 15-year contract last fall, said that it was never reported to Parliament in government estimates on spending, or disclosed by the Treasury Board, which controls the government purse.
A Tory source referred to the 383-page contract, which was obtained by Breitkreuz under the Access to Information Act and provided to CanWest News Service, as the "smoking gun" in the troubled saga of the Canadian Firearms Centre.
CanWest believes Auditor General Sheila Fraser will report Tuesday that the former Liberal government kept the true costs of the gun registry from Parliament and that the problems identified in her initial 2002 audit of the controversial program continued for at least three years despite fierce criticism and the scrutiny of opposition parties.
