Mr. Speaker, some people say that all Canadians are apathetic. Today I have an example that proves this is not true.
Kevin Crigger believes that natural supplements are too important to let bureaucrats artificially remove them from the shelves in Canada. He walked all the way from Dryden, Ontario to Ottawa for that issue. Thirteen hundred kilometres of blisters on his feet tell me whether he thinks this issue is important.
He is typical of many young Canadians who say that bureaucrats shall not be the ones who control health supplements in Canada without good reason. He knows that an informed consumer is a far better judge of our health care needs than some distant bureaucrat in Ottawa.
Kevin is in the gallery today. I salute him for his fortitude, his dedication and for his willingness to speak out.
