moved for leave to introduce Bill C-337, an act to amend the Food and Drugs Act (warning on alcoholic beverage containers).
Mr. Speaker, in the interests of the health of all Canadians we often use warning labels on items such as cigarettes, antihistamines, cleaners, bags and other items which may affect the health of Canadians. This does not apply to alcoholic beverages and this bill seeks to have a warning label, particularly with relation to the problem of foetal alcohol syndrome and the ability of all of us to operate machines and cars while under the influence of alcohol.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
