Mr. Speaker, the throne speech on Monday stated the government's desire to strengthen drinking water guidelines.
I am sure that the Minister of Health is aware that over two years ago, in the wake of the North Battleford tragedy, the House passed a motion calling on the Government of Canada to establish a safe drinking water act. Of course that legislation would have to respect provincial jurisdiction.
Building on the throne speech, is the Minister of Health planning on moving forward by introducing a safe drinking water act?
