Madam Speaker, next, I am tabling a petition raising concern about proposals to further expand the already very troubling euthanasia regime in this country. The House has heard calls to expand euthanasia to include children. In particular, one Louis Roy from the Quebec college of physicians recommended expanding euthanasia to include “babies from birth to one year of age who come into the world with severe deformities and very serious syndromes.”
Petitioners note that this proposal for legalized killing of infants is deeply disturbing to many Canadians, that infanticide is always wrong and that we are already seeing so many abuses and targeting of vulnerable people within Canada's legalized euthanasia regime. Petitioners call on the Government of Canada to block any attempt to allow the killing of children in Canada as part of the euthanasia system.
