Mr. Speaker, the member talked about his parents coming to Canada to look for better opportunities. I think that is the story of many people in Canada, myself included. My mother is from Italy and my father is from Holland. They immigrated here about 55 years ago. I am a little older than my colleague, I imagine.
Generations that come here and grow up here shape our country. My mother, a relatively new immigrant, became part of the feminist movement in the late seventies and eighties that fought for women's reproductive rights. My wife gets to benefit from that work that my mother and her generation did fighting for those rights. However, now we see members of the Conservative Party who are literally trying to roll back those rights. We see them going to pro-life rallies on Parliament Hill.
Does he not agree that moving backwards is not beneficial for our country or society, or the people who have helped shape it to this point?
