British Columbia MP Alice Wong spoke in favour of the motion at the convention, saying that Canada should “fight for our own babies” to a crowd of 3,000 in Halifax. Wong asserted that “passport babies” take away resources from Canada’s system. It a well-known practice for women to arrange to have their babies in Canada not only because of the car available, but as a means of gaining residence for themsleves and other famly members.
