Two witnesses stormed out of a parliamentary committee meeting on July 31, after Liberals tried to steer a planned discussion about violence against women towards the topic of abortion rights.

The rare summer hearing of the House of Commons status of women committee was organized so MPs could hear from advocates and a deputy chief of the Peel Regional Police.
