Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Hamilton Mountain for her continued advocacy on women's rights. Let me be clear: Abortion is health care in Canada. A woman's right to choose is hers, and hers alone. We will always stand with Canadian women and the vast majority of Canadians on this, which is why it is so disappointing to see yet another thinly veiled attempt by the Conservative Party of Canada to restrict a woman's right to choose. The Conservatives are busy getting ready to march tomorrow in an anti-choice protest. We will be busy standing up for fundamental rights, including a woman's right to choose.

Madam Speaker, I love that question. I have loved all the questions. I would say, to that end, one thing that is really important is that this is not a competition. This is not one vulnerable group against another vulnerable group, or one advocacy organization against another advocacy organization. The need is profound here, across disability, and we will absolutely get more traction as we work together. The advice I would have for stakeholders, self advocates and all of those different roles is to find the common group. We may have areas where we are working on our own track, and that is great, but the more we can find common ground, the more we will accelerate the action we are looking for.
