Mr. Speaker, I also have a petition which draws parliament's attention to the fact that Canada has the second highest rate of breast cancer in the world, next only to that of the United States. Early detection is the only known weapon in the battle against this disease. The petition calls upon parliament to enact legislation to establish an independent governing body to develop, implement and enforce uniform and mandatory mammography quality assurance and quality control standards in Canada.
In the House of Commons on March 20th, 2000. See this statement in context.
