Mr. Speaker, Canada lags behind other developed countries in the battle against cancer. Cancer numbers in Canada are escalating.
Now the minister is trumpeting his so-called $60 million down payment, only a fraction of the money needed for the Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control. The Conservative Party brought forward a motion that was passed by the House to fully implement and immediately fund this strategy. For the cost of a minor Liberal scandal, the strategy could be fully funded.
Will the minister listen to the cancer community and the House and fully fund the Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control?
