Mr. Speaker, the second petition concerns the issue of alcohol consumption and misuse.
The petitioners would like to draw to the attention of the House that the consumption of alcoholic beverages may cause health problems and, specifically, that fetal alcohol syndrome and alcohol related birth defects are 100% preventable by avoiding alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
The petitioners therefore pray and call upon Parliament to require health warning labels to be placed on the containers of all alcoholic beverages.
