“May is Celiac Awareness Month. Over 400,000 Canadians live with celiac disease, and they must eat a strict gluten-free diet for life. I want us to support them.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, May is Celiac Awareness Month. Today, we wear the ribbon in recognition of the more than 400,000 Canadians living with celiac disease. As the chair of the all-party celiac caucus, I hosted Celiac Canada’s annual gluten-free breakfast on the Hill. I thank Melissa Secord and her team, and colleagues from all parties who came together in support. I have heard first-hand from the celiac community, including from families who spoke with me at the Davis Family Farm’s sunflower festival, about how managing celiac disease requires a strict, lifelong, gluten-free diet. Let us continue to listen, raise awareness and stand with Canadians living with celiac disease, recognizing their strength and resilience.
