Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present a petition on behalf of people mostly from Prince Edward Island.
They note that Canada is a country which respects rights, including the right to life, and that since 1969, for 40 years, Canada has been a country which allows abortion, and since 1988, in fact, we have had no law on abortion whatsoever.
The petitioners call on Parliament to pass a law which would ensure the protection of human life from the time of conception until the time of natural death.
