Mr. Speaker, I have a petition from scores of citizens of the city and county of Peterborough who are concerned about choice in health care.
The petitioners ask that the Food and Drugs Act be amended so that the term “foods for special health uses” includes any food expected to have a specific effect on the promotion of health or the prevention of disease, and that the Government of Canada may not limit the quantity of any vitamin, mineral, amino acid or other nutrient in a food simply because it exceeds the amount deemed necessary or useful.
