Mr. Speaker, this government has been very consistent and clear in defending the rights of women and, indeed, all Canadians. I can only point out for the New Democrats that when we had a vote ending house arrest for sexual assault, they voted against that. They voted against tougher penalties for child predators. They even voted against tougher sentences for those who produce, traffic and import date rape drugs. Maybe she should have a discussion among her colleagues over there as to what they are doing in this area.
In the House of Commons on December 6th, 2012. See this statement in context.
