Mr. Speaker, the second petition has to do with the matter of the sanctity of life. The petitioners pray that the government ensures that the present provisions of the Criminal Code of Canada prohibiting assisted suicide be enforced vigorously and that Parliament make no changes in the law which would sanction or allow the abiding or abetting of suicide or active or passive euthanasia.
In the House of Commons on February 21st, 1995. See this statement in context.
