Mr. Speaker, as always, it is an honour to be able to stand in this place and present petitions on issues that are important to Canadians.
The first petition that I will be presenting today is from a number of Canadians who have stated a significant concern regarding some of the language that has been used in the committee studying medical assistance in dying, specifically by Louis Roy from the Quebec college of physicians, who recommended expanding euthanasia to “babies from birth to one year of age who come into the world with severe deformities and very serious syndromes”.
These petitioners call upon the Government of Canada to block any attempt to allow the killing of children in this country.
