Okay.
By requesting a more specific study and obtaining the facts to determine the scope of the situation, we'll be able to build on something real. Right now, we can make things up. The principle itself is completely indefensible. However, I'm bothered about the fact that we're once again faced with a tangled web of responsibilities. We're wondering what we'll do, who will take responsibility, how the action plan will be implemented and how the funds will be spent. Funds are needed to implement an action plan and solutions.
In the meantime, if the situation is real and ongoing, other women will experience what I call mutilation. There are many issues at stake. These include the legal aspect, the notion of consent, and other issues. I'm not blaming you, but you don't have the information. In my opinion, you're unable to reassure us that a plan exists and that all the provinces, clinics and doctors are moving in the same direction. Unfortunately, there's a lack of clarity.
Does this issue concern only Saskatchewan? Is the rest of Canada also affected? You've already been asked this question, but you don't really have an answer.
In addition, there has been a great deal of advocacy for women's bodies in this case. However, I'm wondering whether men have also been subjected to this practice in specific communities. Has there been any forced or voluntary sterilization of men?
