MPs of all political stripes reiterated their stance to vote in favour of a Senate bill that would create new offences in relation to forced organ harvesting, as their second debate on the bill’s third reading concluded in the House of Commons on Dec. 7.
Should it pass Parliament on Dec. 14 and receive royal assent, Bill S-223, introduced by Sen. Salma Ataullahjan, would make it a criminal offence for an individual to go abroad to receive an organ from someone who did not give informed consent to the removal of the organ.
