Mr. Speaker, I have three petitions.
In two of them, constituents note that section 223 of the Criminal Code comes from 400-year-old British common law and the child only becomes a human being once he or she proceeds from the womb. The petitioners call on Parliament to have a discussion on that.
In the other one, the petitioners call on Parliament to amend section 223 of the Criminal Code to reflect current science.
Mr. Speaker, in the other petition, the petitioners call on the House to speedily enact legislation that restricts abortion to the greatest extent possible.
