Mr. Speaker, apparently the Conservative government has no problem letting people eat fish with high levels of mercury.
In Grassy Narrows an updated study by mercury poisoning expert Dr. Masazumi Harada has revealed that 59% of people tested had mercury poisoning and 34% of those tested would have been diagnosed with Minamata disease. Yet in 2010, when I raised the issue of Grassy Narrows mercury poisoning in the House, the Minister of Health stated that the mercury levels were safe.
Does the minister still stand by her words? Would she eat fish from Grassy Narrows?
