Madam Speaker, I very much enjoyed the speech given by the hon. member for Laurentides—Labelle.
Every 24 hours, 30,000 children die worldwide because of famine or a lack of health care. We also know that 1,400 pregnant women die in the same 24 hour period.
Clearly, this is a major crisis and Canada must take action to respond to the desperate needs of the victims who are dying every 24 hours. What is happening around the world is appalling.
The government seems to want to turn this crisis into a political issue and impose its ideology.
In the member's opinion, why is the government responding to this crisis with its inappropriate ideology?
