Mr. Speaker, I have three petitions to present this morning.
The first petition contains 495 signatures from the North York area in the federal riding of York Centre. It deals with the protection of human beings, in particular, the protection of the unborn child. It prays that Parliament immediately extend protection to the unborn child by amending the Criminal Code to extend the same protection enjoyed by born human beings to unborn human beings.
It is my understanding that these signatures were collected within a matter of a few hours in one day.
