A principled bill introduced by stalwart pro-life Conservative MP Cathay Wagantall, C-311 sought to establish in law that knowingly assaulting a pregnant woman and causing physical or emotional harm to a pregnant woman are to be considered aggravating circumstances for sentencing purposes. This modest protection for pregnant women and acknowledgement of their special status as expectant mothers was supported by the entire Conservavite caucus, but was defeated along predictable party lines by Justin Trudeau's pro-abortion Liberal government and the other left-wing parties at 2nd reading on June 14, 2023 by a vote of 205 - 113.

This sensible and compassionate Opposition Motion, sponsored by Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre, called on the Justin Trudeau Liberal government to reverse it's disastrous 2022 policy that decriminalized all hard drugs in the province of British Columbia. Under the Liberal scheme, there are now no arrests, charges or seizures for personal possession of up to 2.5 grams of highly-addictive drugs like cocaine and heroin, or for potentially lethal opioids like fentanyl. The resulting increase in opioid deaths seems not to have deterred the Trudeau Liberals from continuing to push their "safe injection" ideology, as they have committed another $74 million to further entrench and intensify their experimental program. Sadly, this rational and laudable Conservative Motion was defeated on May 29, 2023 by a completely partisan vote of 209 - 113, with only the Conservatives suppporting the Motion, while the Liberals and all the other left-wing parties - NDP, Bloc Quebecois, and Green - opposed it.
