William's answers to CLC's 2024 election survey were perfect.

Rating Comments

In November 2017, after stating that he would do everything in his power to protect the baby in the womb, Mr. Cheveldeyoff clarified his position stating that in the case of sexual assault, the person should have the choice to have an abortion. At a Nov. 3, 2011 all-candidates meeting he stated that he is "a pro-life supporter but their are many other issues". He also congratulated the pro-life leaders present "for the work you have done".

In 2014, Cheveldeyoff attended a gay pride flag raising ceremony "to celebrate the city's sexually diverse community". Nevertheless, to his credit, in October 2023, Cheveldeyoff voted in favour of a wonderful 'Parents Bill of Rights' law that will require schools to obtain parental consent before their children can use opposite sex names or opposite sex pronouns at school. The bill, which was voted into law, also included other valuable protections against LGBT and sexual grooming in the classroom, which has become rampant over the past decade.

No response to CLC's 2020 election questionnaire.

Rating based on letter from previous NDP Party Leader, Dwain Lingenfelter, who told CLC Saskatchewan that the NDP unequivocally supports abortion and taxpayer funding of abortion. His letter stated that these are guiding principles of the NDP party.

Rating based on 2011 letter sent to CLC Saskatchewan by then-Green Party leader, Victor Lau, who wrote that the party's official policy is to "fully support the woman’s right to choose [abortion]", to force taxpayers to fund abortions, and that it would compel salaried, government health care workers to participate in abortions, even if it violates their religious beliefs and conscience.
