Mr. Speaker, the second petition has to do with the issue of alcohol misuse.
The petitioners would like to bring to the attention of the House that the consumption of alcoholic beverages may cause health problems, particularly fetal alcohol syndrome and other alcohol related birth defects which are 100% preventable by avoiding alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
The petitioners therefore pray and call upon parliament to mandate the labelling of alcoholic products to warn expectant mothers and others of the risk associated with alcohol consumption.
