Health

During Question Period on health, Conservative MP Mike Lake asked about fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, saying that a report commissioned by the government a year earlier had identified gaps in diagnosis, coordination and access to supports, and that little action had followed since. Liberal MP Maggie Chi replied that the government works on the issue on several fronts, pointed to investments in health research through CIHR in budget 2025, and said she looked forward to working with the member on it.Written by AI from the debate.
