Deemed not smart enough to be a parent

It seems the government thinks they aren't nor are 1.6 million others.

Barb Gamble is low-functioning with an IQ that places her in the lowest five per cent of the population. She is above 1.6 million Canadians based on the 2006 census of 32.6 million. So what are we saying? What are we saying - 1.6 million Canadians can't have kids?"
Crazy story. I had no idea the government could even do this. Guess I never really thought about it.
