Madam Speaker, I have a number of petitions to present to the House today.
The first petition is from petitioners who believe that regardless of circumstances, it is always wrong to kill a child. They are, as a result, deeply concerned by some of the discourse that has happened in this place, particularly proposals around the expansion of euthanasia to include babies from birth to one year of age. This proposal was made by a representative of the Quebec college of physicians, and this proposal for the legalized killing of infants, as a further expansion to Canada's already extremely liberal euthanasia regime, is certainly a further source of concern for these petitioners. They call on the government and the House to oppose this radical proposal to legalize the killing of small children in this country.
