Mr. Speaker, it is my honour to present a petition on behalf of constituents who note that Canada is the only nation in the western world that has no laws restricting abortion and that it is in the company of countries like China and North Korea. They also note that the Supreme Court has said that it is Parliament's responsibility to deal with the issue and to enact abortion legislation.
The petitioners call on the House to speedily enact legislation that would restrict abortion to the greatest extent possible.
