Mr. Speaker, this is a petition that I think touches just about anyone who has read about it.
Members might remember a tragic story that happened to Cassandra Kaake. She was 31 weeks pregnant when she was murdered in an area close to me in Windsor, Ontario.
Tragically, there will be no justice for Cassandra's pre-born child, a little girl named Molly, who was also killed in this violent attack. Because our criminal law does not protect the pre-born child, it is not recognized as a separate victim in attacks against its mother.
This petition comes from across Canada, and basically Canadians are asking that we start to consider justice for victims like Molly.
