Mr. Speaker, the Conservative Party would have us believe that the abortion debate is closed, but it is taking every opportunity to reopen it. The member for Yorkton—Melville introduced a bill to limit a woman's right to reproductive health services. We cannot take that right for granted. Can the minister tell us what our government is doing to protect the right to choose?

Hon. Pascale St-Onge (Minister of Sport and Minister responsible for the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec, Lib.)

Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Sudbury for her advocacy on this important issue. I want to reassure my colleague and all Canadians that we will not allow the Conservatives to do through the back door what they cannot do openly, in other words, chip away at a woman's right to choose. The Conservative leader is trying to win votes by attempting to reopen the abortion debate. In Canada, in 2023, it is shameful and unacceptable. A Liberal government will always stand up for women's rights.
