Mr. Speaker, the second petition is from a number of constituents in my area relating to the issue of abortion.
The petitioners are pointing out that Canada, in the company of China and North Korea, is the only nation in the western world without any laws restricting abortion. They also point out that Canada's Supreme Court has said that it is Parliament's responsibility to enact abortion legislation.
Therefore, they call on the House of Commons to speedily enact legislation that restricts abortion to the greatest extent possible.
