Mr. Speaker, as luck would have it, I am a breast cancer survivor who was diagnosed before 50. I was at the committee that day and spoke about the impact it had on my small children, who were still in elementary school.
The member for Fort McMurray—Cold Lake shared her story about being a child when her mother got breast cancer and passed away. The member and I immediately clicked and said we would do this for people, we would put together a motion to have the task force reconsidered, basically.
I am going to quote from Dense Breasts Canada, which said that “the Task Force [should] be disbanded and rebuilt.”
I faced push-back from the Liberals on this motion. They said it was not important enough.
I wonder if the Conservative member would share why it is so important to listen to women who have experienced this in their life and to get this done.
