Madam Speaker, our government will always work to ensure that Canadians can make evidence-informed choices about their health. We heard frustrations with the previous administration of the program for vaccine-related injuries, which is why we took the program internally and launched the vaccine impact assistance program. We will continue to work very collaboratively to make sure the program works.

Madam Speaker, it is a very important question. We recognize that vaccines save lives, definitely, but we also recognize that there are people impacted negatively by vaccines. This is why we launched the vaccine injury program. We have taken that program internally to make sure it is administered properly. We will continue to work with members across the aisle to make sure people are supported [more]

Madam Speaker, our government has taken the vaccine injury program internally from the previous administration, from the third party. We will continue to work hard to make sure the program works for vaccine-injured individuals. We are looking forward to working with members across the parties to make sure it works.

Mr. Speaker, my colleague has long been a powerful voice for the environment. I have immense respect for her. C-30 minister First and foremost, I want to reassure her that the health and safety of Canadians will always be our top concern, and nothing that was in Billtakes away from the fact that the's top concern in making economic security and food security orders is always going to be [more]

Mr. Speaker, our government is committed to making life more affordable for Canadians. We have demonstrated that through very targeted measures since we arrived here. We are helping Canadians keep more of their hard-earned money while investing to build a strong economy and vibrant communities from coast to coast. We will do this while making responsible choices with tax dollars. That means [more]

Mr. Speaker, obviously, we want to make sure we are keeping Canadians safe and healthy, and that means ensuring we have a stable and secure food supply even during major disruptions. Our changes would help make that happen.

Mr. Speaker, I apologize, and thanks for overseeing the adjournment debate.

Mr. Speaker, our plan is clear and disciplined. We are focused on what we can control, which is maintaining fiscal sustainability and making targeted high-impact investments for Canadians.

Thanks so much. At our last meeting, we heard again from the industry that there's really positive feedback on the regulatory reform effort that's being undertaken by Health Canada. From your exchange with my colleague Dr. Jaczek, it sounds like you're streamlining the premarket assessment and you're strengthening the postmarket monitoring. Would that expedite approval and make natural health [more]
