Sharon Hayes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sharon Ruth Hayes (born January 15, 1948) is a former Canadian politician.

Born in Toronto, Ontario, she represented the riding of Port Moody—Coquitlam from 1993 to 1997 for the Reform Party of Canada.

She gained notoriety in 1996 for issuing a press release on her House of Commons letterhead calling on Liberal ministers attending the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing to reject "Chinese government policies that endorse the mandated one-child policy, the murder of inmates for body parts and the alleged consumption of human fetuses as health food."

She was reelected in 1997, but resigned her seat in October in order to care for her ailing husband. She has two daughters.

Hayes now sits on the board of directors of Focus on the Family Canada.
