Mr. Speaker, empty promises and hollow words are not enough. We want to see action not only in Canada but also around the world. The Minister of International Cooperation has a very important role to play in promoting gender equality and women's sexual health abroad.
Yet when he appeared before the committee, he said that CIDA would no longer fund projects that promoted all reproductive choices.
Why is the minister trying to put anti-abortion ideology ahead of women's choices regarding their own health?
