Mr. Speaker, for my second petition, I rise to present a petition on synthetic food dyes. Petitioners are concerned that synthetic food dyes are negatively impacting consumers' behaviour, memory and learning, especially among young children. That is why the petitioners are calling on the government to reform regulations that are permitting synthetic food dyes like red number 40, yellow number five, yellow number six, and red number three. Petitioners are calling for a reassessment of synthetic dyes under the Food and Drugs Act. They want to see regulations that respect experts and science-based approaches that prioritize protecting the health of Canadians.
