Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present two petitions signed by 34 constituents of mine from towns in Alberta, including Chestermere, Langdon, Calgary and Rocky View.
The petitioners call on Parliament to look into the definition of a human being. According to current legislation, a child does not become human until the moment of complete birth. They would like section 223 of the Canadian Criminal Code to be amended in order to confirm that every human being is recognized to be a human being by Canadian law.
