Mr. Speaker, radioactive fallout from the nuclear tests of the 1950s and 1960s in the Nevada Desert have been documented in a recent study by the National Cancer Institute in the United States.
The poisonous fallout from those tests crossed into Canada, but the health impact study stopped at the border. One American scientist said that there was almost disinterest from the Canadian government on this issue.
Who is standing up for Canadians on this issue? Will the Minister of Health take charge of the file and agree to ascertain the impact of the cold war era bomb tests on the health of Canadians?
