Listen to testimony of the Public Health Agency of Canada as they speak to the federal government of Canada’s Health Committe on Bill C-442 the National Lyme Disease Strategy Act

ByTeam

This is a private member’s Bill put before parliament that looks like it will pass into law as a result of all party support.  A private member’s Bill can only ask for limited action.  It cannot ask government to commit money for example.  This Bill was written to be the best it could be within given limitations.

The testimony of Elzabeth May MP, Jim Wilson president of CanLyme, and Nicole Bottles a patient with ongoing Lyme borreliosis was heard on May 29th, 2014 and can be heard here.
