Conservative MP says there has been no filibuster by the Tories over a study on women’s access to reproductive and sexual health care
Several Liberal and NDP MPs are accusing the Conservatives of blocking a proposed study on women’s international access to reproductive and sexual health care, including safe abortion, and how Canada could support women’s health.
Dr. Fry’s motion cites “recent reports of international backsliding related to women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights,” though did not refer toand end to federal abortion rights in the United States. Conservative MP Garnett Genuis said there has been no filibuster by the Conservatives, and accused the Liberals of working to politicize the committee.
“Given where we are in the parliamentary calendar, I fear that it’s an effective cancellation. I don’t know when they would be able to appear,” she said. On June 2, the committee unanimously agreed to an amendment from Mr. Genuis to strike a mention of how many meetings should be set aside for the study. Since then, debate has largely centred on Mr. Genuis’s subsequent amendment to guarantee that the study not take place until certain other work is completed, as well as on a subamendment from Bloc Québécois MP Stéphane Bergeron.
