Push for study of coerced sterilization intensifies on Parliament Hill
OTTAWA — A Commons committee will hear today from senior government officials about the coerced sterilization of women in Canada as MPs face increasing calls for a deeper study of the issue.
NDP health critic Don Davies says he wants to see a close examination of the “profoundly disturbing issue,” adding the country has yet to learn the extent of the problem.
The Commons health committee is to question officials from three federal departments later this afternoon on the issue, but no further meetings on the topic have been scheduled.
