Mr. Speaker, I have another petition from people who are interested in the development of research into the bioartificial kidney in Canada. They point out that 18,000 Canadians suffer from end stage kidney disease and that those on kidney dialysis and those successfully transplanted recognize the importance of the bioartificial kidney approach to their problem.
The petitioners call upon parliament to work and support the bioartificial kidney which will eventually eliminate the need for both dialysis or transplantation for those suffering from end stage kidney disease.
