Just a second. The comments that were just made--that it is an attempt to somehow legislate an agenda--were shameful, irrespective of the violence to the mother and the child.
When we go back to Alberta and the recent legislation there that was to allow insurance protection for the child in the third trimester, to bring about some kind of recognition of the pain and suffering to the mother and the child.... The intent of this is to address the concerns of the mother and child, irrespective of the feeling of a greater agenda for other people. I would think the pre-eminent concern here is the mother and the about-to-be-born child, and we don't have anything in our laws at present to address that situation. If we stay focused on the good intention of this bill, that's what it is directed towards and to somehow move it....
I was suggesting that perhaps, leaving aside the bill...but you entered into a statement that went into injury or causing the death of an unborn child while committing an offence. Now, leave “and its impact on women” and this is what we're talking about: injury or causing the death of an unborn child while committing an offence.
