Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his comment and question.
We are no longer surprised that every throne speech and every budget the Conservatives have presented since taking office has a hidden agenda.
The government is committed to making maternal and child health a priority at the next G8 summit. But behind this commitment we still find anti-abortion and anti-contraception lobby groups, which are pressuring the Conservative government.
On the one hand, the government is making a commitment; but, on the other hand, it does not want to displease these lobby groups, its faithful friends.
