e-1308 (Diabetes)

E-petition
Initiated by Gurpreet Pabla from Brampton, Ontario

Original language of petition: English

Petition to the Government of Canada

Whereas:
  • The government should recognize that diabetes and prediabetes affect over 11 million Canadians as of 2017 and that if nothing is done to address this mounting public health crisis, which disproportionately affects certain communities, Canadians will bear increasingly higher costs, both personal and financial;
  • The government should recognize the serious impacts that diabetes and prediabetes have on millions upon millions of Canadians by marking the month of November, every year, as Diabetes Awareness Month;
  • The Standing Committee on Health should study the important issue of diabetes and prediabetes, focusing on prevention and control, and develop a plan for a National Diabetes Strategy; and
  • The Committee should report back to the House within 90 days of the adoption of the motion M-118.
We, the undersigned, residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to take action on M-118.
