Mr. Speaker, my second petition deals with abortion. The wording of this petition is done so carefully and with such respect for language.
The students, faculty and staff of Redeemer University College, draw the attention of the House to the following: incidents of abortion are becoming more and more frequent; each incident of abortion harms the public; and there would be fewer such incidents if certain legislative measures were taken.
Therefore, the petitioners call upon parliament to enact legislation protecting the rights of the unborn.
I think the people who compiled that petition should be congratulated on doing it in a very temperate way showing a great deal of respect for all people who have different views on the issue of abortion.
