Mr. Speaker, in this first week of the month, I would like to remind the House that February is Heart Month.
Cardiovascular disease claims the lives of far too many Canadians. I invite my colleagues and the general public to participate in activities organized by their local Heart and Stroke Foundation and to support the various campaigns to raise money for research into these diseases.
Our government has made significant efforts in the past to support the work of researchers, who are doing their best to relieve the suffering of Canadians with heart disease.
These past efforts, and our firm commitment to continue working on this, clearly show that the government definitely has its heart in the right place.
