Mr. Speaker, as spring will soon turn to summer, Canadians will be enjoying the great outdoors, the fresh air and of course the sunshine. However, many commonly used sunscreen products contain harsh chemicals, such as oxybenzone and benzophenone-3, which dermatologists and researchers say can cause severe skin reactions in adults and children, which has actually happened to two of my constituents.
Could the Minister of Health assure Canadians that their sunscreen will protect them from the sun and that their sunscreen is even safe to use?
