Senator urges Trudeau to include ending forced, coerced sterilizations of women in mandate letters GlobePolitics

Senator Yvonne Boyer, seen here on Parliament Hill in October, 2018, said Trudeau must ensure the issue is 'front and centre.'Prime Minister Justin Trudeau must include putting an end to forced and coerced sterilizations of women in his instructions to new cabinet ministers, says Independent Senator Yvonne Boyer.

During the course of the health committee’s work, lawyer Alisa Lombard testified that more than 100 Indigenous women had come forward from different regions of the country with allegations they endured coerced sterilizations. Mr. Casey’s letter also said the committee agreed with witnesses that “urgent action” must be taken to address harms caused by the practice and to prevent it from occurring in the future.

Veteran NDP MP Don Davies, who sat on the health committee as his party’s health critic, said Tuesday that addressing forced and coerced sterilization amounts to “serious unfinished business."
