Parliamentary Committee: The Criminal Code

Conservative MP Stephen Woodworth Dept: The motion would have set up a parliamentary committee to study whether the Criminal Code's definition of a human being is out of date, according to CBC. "If possible, I'll travel the country to talk about the very, very grave importance of enshrining in Canadian law the equal worth and dignity of every human being." Conservative MP Stephen Woodworth is promising to keep fighting for his beliefs following the defeat of his motion to study the Criminal Code's definition of when life begins. In a press release Wednesday night, Woodworth says he will continue to "speak out in defence of the Canadian values championed by Motion 312." (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
