Health

During question period on health matters, a Conservative member said that a garage door company in his riding had given the government evidence that garage doors imported from China contain toxic substances banned in Canada, and asked why the Minister of Health had not acted on these warnings. A Liberal minister responded that Garaga is a well-known Quebec-based company that he supports, and said that if the company has an issue to raise with the government, it should do so and the government would act quickly.Written by AI from the debate.

Mr. Speaker, Garaga is an iconic brand in Canada. I have Garaga garage doors myself. I will continue to support this Quebec-based company, just as I do all Quebec-based companies. If Garaga has an issue it needs to raise with the government, then it should do so, and I can assure the hon. member that we will act very quickly.
