Conservative MP and potential leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre has clarified his position on whether or not he would allow Conservative MPs to bring forward legislation on abortion.
Poilievre stated that as leader, he would allow Conservative MPs to put forward private members’ bills on abortion and to vote based on their conscience, but he made it clear that no such bill would pass under his watch.
“Pierre’s approach would be the same as Stephen Harper’s,” an anonymous source from within Poilievre’s campaign told the Star Vancouver.
