Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health.
The environment committee is undergoing a clause by clause review of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, known as Bill C-32. This bill, which was co-sponsored by the minister and the Minister of the Environment, has come under attack by environmentalists and health organizations as it fails to protect Canadians from harmful toxic substances. Substances that have damaging effects on the endocrine systems of living organisms will not be considered toxic under the assessment criteria in this bill.
Will the Minister of Health announce today that he will endorse the amendments to improve this bill's capacity to capture these harmful substances?
