Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present two petitions.
The first represents the voices of 35,255 Canadians who are calling on the government to protect human life. These signatories call on this chamber to enact legislation granting full legal protection to a child not yet born, starting from the beginning of his or her biological development as a human being. The petitioners also urge the House of Commons to show leadership in fostering a life-sustaining society.
I hope we heed their voices in this chamber. When we fail to protect the right to life of some, we undermine the right to life for all.
