Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to present a petition from residents of the Fraser Valley in British Columbia.
The petitioners note that Canada is the only nation in the western world, in the company of China and North Korea, without any laws regarding abortion. They point out that the Supreme Court has said that it is Parliament's responsibility to enact abortion legislation.
Therefore, the petitioners call upon the House to speedily enact legislation that would restrict abortion to the greatest extent possible.
