Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to present two petitions, this being the 2nd day of 16 days standing against violence against women and girls.
The three deadliest words in the world are “it's a girl”. Over 200 million girls are missing worldwide through the practice of sex selection. Gynaecologists of Canada believe that this is very wrong and stand against it. A poll shows that 92% of Canadians believe that sex selection is wrong.
The petitioners call on Parliament to condemn this discriminative practice against girls.
