Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to present this morning.
In the first, petitioners call on the House to condemn discrimination against females occurring through sex-selective pregnancy termination. CBC carried a program that indicated that when ultrasounds done in Canada determine the child to be female, the mother will abort the female. When this was brought out, all parties in the House of Commons condemned that practice.
Petitioners are calling on Parliament to condemn the practice of gender selection pregnancy termination.
