Mr. Speaker, it is once again an honour to present a petition signed by many Canadians. In particular, testimony was heard before a parliamentary committee with regard to expanding euthanasia, where a representative from the Collège des médecins du Québec recommended that MAID should be expanded to include babies from birth to one year of age who come into the world with severe deformities and very serious syndromes.
The petitioners are very concerned about the proposal for the legalized killing of infants. It is deeply disturbing to Canadians and goes against the values Canadians hold dear. The petitioners emphasize that infanticide is always wrong.
I am proud to present this petition in the House here today.
