“The member said the right to choose only matters to women. Men in the armed forces have told me it matters to them too. I want the member to take back what he said.”
“Mr. Speaker, on the right to choose, the member indicated, which I think was somewhat demeaning, that this only applied to women. Obviously, in the armed forces, there are a lot of issues. On this issue, I can attest, from male members of the armed forces having spoken with me, that this is as much an issue to them as it is to women. Would the member like to retract that statement?”
