Mr. Speaker, our government has a strong record of taking action on bisphenol A.
As part of the chemical management plan, this government carefully evaluated the potential health effects of BPA and concluded that the general population does not need to be concerned. However, to protect newborns and infants, this government wanted to be prudent. That is why we are proceeding to ban the baby bottles made with BPA.
Canadians expect actions by their government when it comes to their safety and we are taking action.
