Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Miramichi for her hard work on the status of women committee.
We introduced matrimonial property rights legislation that would finally allow judges to enforce emergency protection orders that would save lives and protect women from violence.
Aboriginal women, international organizations and even the Manitoba NDP have been calling for this for many years, but shockingly, the Liberal leader has instructed his caucus to vote against this protection. We call on him to reverse his position now.
I am proud to say that our Conservative government continues to stand up for the rights of aboriginal women.
