Mr. Speaker, I am presenting e-petition 4595, which has hundreds of signatures. The petition says that parental alienation is the process through which a child becomes estranged from one parent as a result of the psychological manipulation of another parent. Statistics show that up to 25% of parents nationwide engage in this behaviour. Based on current research, over 22 million adults have been targets of parental alienation, and 3.9 million children have been alienated from one of their parents. The undersigned parents, fathers and mothers, call upon the Prime Minister to enact laws that would make parental alienation a form of child abuse that is punishable in a criminal court of law. By supporting this petition, the government would ensure that alienated parents' voices are heard and, most importantly, that children are removed from abusive parental care.
