I thank the member for <a data-HoCid=\"170125\" href=\"/politicians/david-sweet/\" title=\"David Sweet\">Ancaster\u2014Dundas\u2014Flamborough\u2014Westdale</a> for seconding my private member's bill.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2654534\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is timely that we consider and look at my private member's bill about tanning devices knowing that a lot of Canadians and a lot of colleagues here in the House of Commons will be shooting off for winter vacations. A lot of people like to go and jump into a tanning bed thinking they need to get that glow started before they actually get to the beach.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2654535\" data-originallang=\"en\">My bill would ensure that Canadians are aware of the cancer risks that are generated from tanning equipment. Artificial tanning beds and tanning salons are an increasing health risk. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2654536\" data-originallang=\"en\">My bill would do three things. First, it would increase labelling on tanning equipment ensuring that people see that there is a warning about cancer risks associated with using radiation emitting devices like tanning beds. Second, it would create a prohibition for youth under the age of 18 from using tanning salons and that those establishments must be well labelled, similar to what we see under the Tobacco Act of 1977. Third, the tanning salons would need to ensure that Canadians are aware that youth are not allowed to make use of those facilities, and that there are a number of different cancer risks.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2654537\" data-originallang=\"en\">In 2009, the World Health Organization, under the International Agency for Research on Cancer, moved tanning salons, tanning beds and radiation emitting devices to category one stating that they are carcinogenic to humans.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2654538\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Canadian Cancer Society, the Canadian Dermatology Association, the Save Your Skin Foundation and the Canadian Skin Cancer Foundation are all supporting my private member's bill and realize that we need to take action so we can prevent this disease from getting out of hand.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2654539\" data-originallang=\"en\">People who use artificial tanning methods increase their risk of exposure to melanoma by over 75%. Just yesterday, the Yale School of Public Health said that there was a 70% increase in risk for those who use tanning equipment, especially before the age of 30, of cancer causing basal cell carcinoma cancers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2654540\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is important that we ensure Canadians and consumers are aware of this health risk and i encourage everyone here to avoid using tanning equipment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2654541\" data-originallang=\"en\">On that note, I want to wish everyone a very merry Christmas.</p>\n<p class=\"procedural\" data-HoCid=\"2\"> (Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed) </p>",
        "fr": "<p class=\"procedural\" data-HoCid=\"2654532\"> demande \u00e0 pr\u00e9senter le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"5330376\" href=\"/bills/41-1/C-386/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Radiation Emitting Devices Act (tanning equipment) and to warn Canadians of the cancer risks of using tanning equipment\">C-386, Loi modifiant la Loi sur les dispositifs \u00e9mettant des radiations (appareils de bronzage) et visant \u00e0 pr\u00e9venir les Canadiens des risques de cancer li\u00e9s aux appareils de bronzage</a>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2654533\" data-originallang=\"en\"> \u2014 Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je suis ravi de pr\u00e9senter ce projet de loi \u00e0 la Chambre \u00e0 l'\u00e9tape de la premi\u00e8re lecture. Je remercie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'<a data-HoCid=\"170125\" href=\"/politicians/david-sweet/\" title=\"David Sweet\">Ancaster\u2014Dundas\u2014Flamborough\u2014Westdale</a> d'avoir appuy\u00e9 mon projet de loi d'initiative parlementaire. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2654534\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cette mesure l\u00e9gislative sur les appareils de bronzage tombe \u00e0 point, puisque bon nombre de Canadiens et de d\u00e9put\u00e9s iront passer leurs vacances d'hiver au soleil. Beaucoup de gens aiment aller faire un tour au salon de bronzage, histoire d'avoir un teint h\u00e2l\u00e9, avant d'arriver \u00e0 la plage. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2654535\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mon projet de loi ferait en sorte que les Canadiens soient au courant des risques de cancer li\u00e9s aux appareils de bronzage. Les lits de bronzage et les salons de bronzage augmentent les risques pour la sant\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2654536\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mon projet de loi propose trois mesures. Premi\u00e8rement, il augmenterait les mises en garde sur les appareils de bronzage pour s'assurer que les gens sont inform\u00e9s des risques de cancer li\u00e9s \u00e0 l'utilisation de dispositifs \u00e9mettant des radiations comme les lits de bronzage. Deuxi\u00e8mement, il interdirait aux jeunes de moins de 18 ans d'utiliser les appareils des salons de bronzage et exigerait que ces \u00e9tablissements apposent les affiches n\u00e9cessaires, des exigences similaires \u00e0 celles qu'impose la Loi sur le tabac de 1977. Troisi\u00e8mement, les salons de bronzage auraient \u00e0 s'assurer que les Canadiens savent que les jeunes n'ont pas le droit d'utiliser leurs installations et que les appareils de bronzage posent un certain nombre de risques de cancer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2654537\" data-originallang=\"en\"> En 2009, l'Organisation mondiale de la Sant\u00e9, sur les conseils du Centre International de Recherche sur le Cancer, a plac\u00e9 les salons de bronzage, les lits de bronzage et les dispositifs \u00e9mettant des radiations dans la cat\u00e9gorie 1, d\u00e9clarant qu'ils sont canc\u00e9rig\u00e8nes pour les \u00eatres humains.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2654538\" data-originallang=\"en\">La Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 canadienne du cancer, l'Association canadienne de dermatologie, la Fondation Sauve Ta Peau et la fondation canadienne du cancer de la peau appuient mon projet de loi d'initiative parlementaire et reconnaissent que nous devons prendre des mesures pour emp\u00eacher que cette maladie prenne des proportions ctastrophiques. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2654539\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les gens qui utilisent des m\u00e9thodes de bronzage artificiel augmentent de 75 p. 100 leur risque d'exposition au m\u00e9lanome. Hier encore, l'\u00e9cole de sant\u00e9 publique de Yale a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que le risque de carcinome basocellulaire, un type de cancer de la peau, augmente de 70 p. 100 chez les personnes qui utilisent des appareils de bronzage, surtout avant l'\u00e2ge de 30 ans.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2654540\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est important de veiller \u00e0 ce que les Canadiens et les consommateurs soient au courant de ce risque pour la sant\u00e9, et j'encourage tout le monde ici pr\u00e9sent \u00e0 \u00e9viter d'utiliser des appareils de bronzage. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2654541\" data-originallang=\"en\">Sur ce, je souhaite \u00e0 tout le monde un tr\u00e8s joyeux No\u00ebl. </p>\n<p class=\"procedural\" data-HoCid=\"2\"> (Les motions sont r\u00e9put\u00e9es adopt\u00e9es, le projet de loi est lu pour la premi\u00e8re fois et imprim\u00e9.) </p>"
