Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
Colleagues will be aware from media reports and, in my case and the case of some members of the committee, personal experience that there is a nationwide shortage of pediatric medicines available. This is causing a lot of grief for moms and dads right across the country.
I'd like to move a motion and seek the support of members for it.
This motion has been on notice, Mr. Chair. It's available in both official languages. It reads as follows:
That, due to nationwide shortages of over-the-counter paediatric medication, the committee report to the House its recommendation that the Government of Canada allow the importation and sale of foreign language labelled products of the same drug formulation to address the shortage.
