Private Member's Bill: Kitchener Centre MP Stephen Woodworth

Craig Oliver Dept: Kitchener Centre MP Stephen Woodworth argues that his private member's bill is not an attempt to criminalize abortion procedures in Canada, according to CTV. In Ottawa, 's chief parliamentary correspondent Craig Oliver said the motion is significant not so much for what it would do if passed, but for the fact it has already revived the conversation and lawmakers will vote tonight on a Conservative backbencher's motion that, if passed, would resurrect the contentious debate surrounding issues pertaining to abortion. Instead, he insists Motion 312 is intended to strike a 12-member, all-party committee to study the definition of when a newborn can legally be considered a human being. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
