Mr. Epp, the sponsor of the bill, said himself that it was not to prevent violence against women. He admitted that this changes nothing in this regard. So I don't want to hear now that this is part of the bill; it's not part of the bill. The only thing in the bill is exactly what is in the bill's title: “(injuring or causing the death of an unborn child while committing an offence)”. That is what the bill is about. It's not about violence against women. That is not what violence against women is.
