Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present a petition here from constituents in beautiful Langley, British Columbia. It says that CBC revealed that ultrasounds are being used to tell the sex of an unborn child so that expecting parents can choose to terminate the pregnancy if it is a girl. Sex selection was condemned by all the national parties in the House, and 92% of Canadians believe that sex selection pregnancy termination should be illegal. Also, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists vehemently opposes sex selection.
They are calling on the House and members of Parliament to condemn sex selection.
