Lydia O’Kane asked him about the relevance of the Charter today. “ He says, The Charter on the Rights of the Family we might say is even more relevant today than it was thirty years ago when it was first promulgated, we see the family under various types of attack, the nature of marriage, the rights of the child, integrity of the institution of marriage and family…So the Charter of the Rights of Family is an effort to get lawmakers and policy makers to consider the real situation of people today.”
