Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise to table a petition from Canadians who have expressed very serious concerns about serious proposals to expand the medical assistance in dying regime in Canada to infants under the age of one. They are very concerned about recommendations relating to the expansion of MAID for infants with severe deformities or a very serious syndrome.
The proposal is very concerning to the Canadians who have signed the petition. They feel that the government must take action to block any attempts to expand medical assistance in dying for children. The petitioners feel very strongly that infanticide is always wrong.
