Mr. Speaker, I share a friendship with my colleague across the way, except on this. We have found our way to disagreement.
He was talking about members of the NDP and Liberals who have said some things contrary to their party's position. I will read something for my friend. It reads:
We should just list it. What isn't right is to ship something to some country and say, 'We won't tell you what's in this. Don't worry about it. The important thing to me is to tell people about the risk. … It is demonstrably bad for you, this stuff.
That was said by Chuck Strahl, who is also a friend. He sat in the Conservative cabinet for quite a while. He suffers from a very serious and grave illness due to exposure to asbestos. Is Chuck Strahl wrong or is it time to finally list this and tell people what it is that they are exposed to?
We need to put it on the package. We need to say what everybody knows: this is dangerous.
