Mr. Speaker, too many Canadians are experiencing untold heartbreak at the suffering of loved ones and loss of loved ones because of this country's inability to ensure a safe insulin supply.
Reports of eight deaths and more than 450 reported adverse reactions from synthetic insulin in Canada are surely enough for the government to act. Yet the government has issued no warnings, no mandatory reporting and no effective monitoring system.
Will the Minister of Health act on this serious matter today with compassion, issue health warnings for the adverse reactions of synthetic insulin and ensure a safe supply of insulin for all Canadians with diabetes?
