        "en": "<p>Mr. Speaker, I move that the eighth report of the Standing Committee on Health, presented on Monday, April 11, be concurred in.</p>\n<p>For the information of the House, I only intend to make a couple of comments on this matter. It has to do with <a href=\"/bills/1037/\" class=\"related_link legislation\" title=\"An Act to amend the Food and Drugs Act (warning labels regarding the consumption of alcohol)\">Bill C-206</a>, health warning labels on the containers of alcoholic beverages. The bill passed by a 90% plurality in the House at second reading. It was referred to committee.</p>\n<p>As a consequence of the proceedings, the members of the committee wanted to explore the opportunity with Health Canada to have a comprehensive strategy for addressing fetal alcohol syndrome. That was not forthcoming at the time. As a consequence, this report was issued, recommending that the House not further deal with <a href=\"/bills/1037/\" class=\"related_link legislation\" title=\"An Act to amend the Food and Drugs Act (warning labels regarding the consumption of alcohol)\">Bill C-206</a>. The members also passed a motion that Health Canada be asked to table a comprehensive strategy dealing with <a href=\"/bills/1037/\" class=\"related_link legislation\" title=\"An Act to amend the Food and Drugs Act (warning labels regarding the consumption of alcohol)\">Bill C-206</a>, fetal alcohol syndrome, and that was done in June.</p>\n<p>Therefore, it is my sincere wish that the House vote no on the concurrence motion that I have presented today so together we can move forward on a comprehensive public education campaign, including health warning labels on the containers of alcoholic beverages, to address fetal alcohol syndrome, the preventable tragedy.</p>",
