Mr. Speaker, today the first steps toward a class action suit by 300 Canadians against Health Canada will be initiated over the failing of a jaw implant that is causing facial bones to actually rot.
Years ago U.S. authorities prohibited the sale of this product and in Canada the Dental Surgeons of Ontario echoed the same concern. That should have been enough for Health Canada to spring into action, but it did nothing.
Why will the health minister allow this to happen? Will he not admit his failure and take some responsibility for these victims?
