Wappel's social conservatism has caused him to be increasingly marginalized in the Liberal Party since 1993 (for example, he continues to regularly present anti-abortion petitions to Parliament). He was a vocal opponent of his government's plan to extend anti-discrimination protection to homosexuals in 1994, claiming that "Homosexuality is statistically abnormal, it's physically abnormal and it's morally immoral".[23] Some politicians and journalis ...

Wappel created controversy in 1991 by proposing the creation of special detainment camps (to be known as Welcome Centres) for refugees arriving in Canada. Claimants would be provided with food, lodging and clothing, but would not be permitted to work outside the centre until receiving formal approval.
