Mr. Speaker, we have limits on mercury in fish in this country for purposes of health protection just like we have limits on mercury in fish all around the world.
The government has decided that some fish with dangerous levels of mercury are okay because they will only harm some of the people some of the time. It gives no information to fish sellers and tells pregnant women “Don't worry. There is a warning for you on the Internet”.
Will the health minister stop such negligence and disregard of human health and accept his responsibility for ensuring all species of all fish are safe for all people every day of the week?
