On June 17, 2019, I stood in Question Period to ask the following question:
"Mr. Speaker, abortion is legal in Canada, yet some struggle to access this service in a timely fashion. It is not enough for the Liberals and the Conservatives to say that they will not reopen the abortion debate.
Under the Canada Health Act, abortion services are insured, yet only one in six hospitals actually offers these services. Some provinces will not cover the cost of surgical abortion in health clinics. Access is even worse for people in rural areas, the north and the Atlantic provinces.
Will the Liberals enforce the Canada Health Act to ensure medical and surgical abortion is available and covered in all parts of the country?"
