SUMMARY

The purpose of this enactment is to provide for a referendum to be held on the question of whether public funds should be used for medically unnecessary abortions. If the electors agree that this should not be the case, an amendment to the Canada Health Act will be brought into force which will allow a reduction in fiscal transfers to provinces that allow such funding.
