PRESS RELEASE FROM MARK WARAWA REGARDING GENDERCIDE MOTION
Ottawa, ON (April 17th, 2013) — Today, Langley MP Mark Warawa made the following statement:
“When I made my decision to introduce Motion-408, I was determined to help raise awareness that sex selection is happening in Canada.
“An overwhelming number of Canadians responded, indicating their support for Motion 408, and I want to thank them.
“Over that last couple of weeks, I seriously considered my options and how best to move this issue forward.
“I’ve decided to continue working on the sex selection, gendercide issue by speaking at university campuses, giving lectures and engaging in debates. Within Parliament, I will continue to work on this important issue with my colleagues across all party lines.
“Legislatively, I will introduce a new bill tomorrow to protect children from sexual predators, called the Safe at Home bill.
“This bill is a result of a sex offender in my riding of Langley who was permitted to serve House arrest right next door to his young victim. In another case, the sex offender served House arrest across the street from the victim. In both cases, the young victims lived in fear and were re-victimized every time they saw their attacker. One mom asked me, ‘Why should we have to move from our home when we are the victims?’ That’s a good question! That’s why I will introduce my new bill. I look forward to the House debating my new bill.”
