Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present a number of petitions representing all provinces and territories expressing concern that breast cancer has not been taken on as a national issue and a national priority, given that 5,400 Canadian women will die this year from that disease and about 17,000 Canadian women will be diagnosed.
The petitioners have asked that Parliament establish a toll free information and support line. They urge the government to begin consultations to establish parameters for a national registry of drugs and medical devices and various forms of biotechnology.
