Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to stand in this House to present a petition signed by Canadians from across the country in opposition to Motion No. 312, a thinly veiled attempt to reopen the abortion debate in Canada.
Canadians are asking the government, both on the front benches and backbenches, to stand with us in the official opposition and oppose the reopening of the abortion debate, and truly look forward to how we can move ahead and achieve gender equality in Canada, rather than turning the clock back on women in our country.
