Mr. Speaker, up to six million Canadians are coping with some form of lung disease.
During the last election campaign, our Prime Minister promised action to tackle major diseases. That is why today I was pleased to announce that we are investing $10 million on initiatives that will help Canadians prevent, detect and manage their respiratory diseases.
By improving what we know about their respiratory health, we can help Canadians lower their risks of developing lung disease and better manage their health.
This is great news for all Canadians.
