Mr. Speaker, September marks Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Ovarian cancer often goes undetected until the late stages.
Our government takes women's health seriously. In the last election, we committed to stronger data collection and advanced research, including the use of artificial intelligence to close the long-standing gap in women's and seniors' health care. Better data means better outcomes.
In Brampton, many are leading by example, from the Canadian Cancer Society's Run for the Cure to the lavender fire truck campaign in Brampton. I also recognize local organizations like Cancer Warrior, the Walnut Foundation and others for their dedication to raising awareness for cancer.
I urge all Canadians to prioritize early screening. Early detection can save lives, and it gives families the best chance for successful treatment.
