Mr. Speaker, in a remote aboriginal community, when it is the middle of the night and it is 30° below zero and a woman has been violently assaulted, it is absolutely necessary for her to receive the same protection as all other Canadians.
That is exactly why our government introduced Bill S-2, which would allow the enforcement of emergency protection orders.
Shamefully, however, the Liberal leader whipped his caucus to vote against that bill.
Would the parliamentary secretary please update the House on our position versus their position?
