Mr. Speaker, cancer affects nearly every family in Canada. I myself lost my wife Stéphanie at the age of 34 to this disease.
Stéphanie firmly believed in the importance of research to advance treatment for this disease and support life-saving progress. In Canada, it is estimated that about four in 10 cancer cases could be avoided with better risk reduction and prevention measures.
Can the minister tell us about investments we are making in cutting-edge research on cancer prevention?
