In this debate, MPs discussed the ongoing issue of youth vaping and the need for stricter regulations on flavored vaping products. The NDP criticized the Liberals for not implementing a ban on flavored vaping products, despite evidence showing that such bans can reduce youth vaping without increasing smoking rates. The Liberals acknowledged the seriousness of the issue and the need to prevent the vaping industry from exploiting grey areas. The debate also touched on the case of a constituent who suffered a vaccine injury and is awaiting reimbursement for medical and home support costs, with the NDP urging the government to expedite the process and the Liberals assuring that the program is being administered to support those in need.
“I make kind empty words about how the program should help people. I say nothing about whether we will actually help this man now.”
