Mr. Speaker, both my colleagues from Burnaby had very good interventions, capsulizing what we are trying to do today.
We have heard some speakers on the Liberal side, one who was a medical doctor in fact, deny the science. The member quoted from one study written by an industry representative who argued against banning 2,4,5-T, which is agent orange. She thought agent orange should in fact be available on the shelves, so that is a credibility issue.
Even if we cannot ever prove the causal link between one particular chemical and one particular illness because of the chemical soup we are exposed to, should the precautionary principle not then prevail, especially when it pertains to children, pregnant women and vulnerable people?
