I agree with Adam that G-7 and BQ-3 deal with the same thing.
I want to go on the record as saying that I support BQ-3 because the result of the government amendment would be to eliminate “provide for firefighters across Canada to be regularly screened for cancers linked to firefighting”. I understand why that's problematic. I don't think the federal government can provide for firefighters across Canada to be regularly screened for cancers; I think that is provincial.
That's why I like the Bloc's amendment. Again, we're in the context of what the national framework must include. It would make the national framework
(c) make recommendations respecting regular screenings for cancers linked to firefighting;
I think that's a useful role the federal government can play. The ultimate goal here is that we want to get more regular screenings. I don't want to take this out completely, because it would mean that the bill doesn't have anything on screening, which I think would be a terrible error.
I'm going to vote against the government's G-7, but I'm going to be supporting BQ-3 so that we have a clear provision on regular screenings for cancers linked to firefighting.
