Mr. Speaker, the NDP motion to ban trans fats was adopted with all party support, including 18 members of the now governing party.
The studies have been done. The consumption of just five grams of trans fats a day increases the risk of heart disease by almost 20%. Labelling does not work. Voluntary measures, as we have seen under the Liberals for 13 years, do not work.
Will the government commit to take action on the motion adopted by the House and ban trans fats for the health of our nation?
