Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In the last two years, we have lost so many people to cancer in my region, Mr. Speaker. People are very concerned about what might be causing this disease. As you can imagine, Mr. Speaker, this is very distressing to our communities and their families. By the time they are diagnosed with cancer, it is too late, Mr. Speaker. You have to wonder if it is a lack of access to diagnostic equipment or the way the communities deal with patients or is it the lack of nurses, doctors or facilities? I will have questions for the Minister of Health on this subject, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
