Letter to the Minister of Health RE: MS and CCSVI, August 20, 2010
Friday August 20, 2010
Dear Minister Aglukkaq,
Further to our letter of May 6th, 2010, we are once again writing to you to ask for federal leadership, regarding Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI). Specifically, we are requesting that CCSVI be on the agenda of the Health Ministers’ meeting in St. John’s, Newfoundland on September 13th and 14th, 2010, and that both Dr Sandy MacDonald–the only physician who has performed the liberation procedure for CCSVI in Canada—and Dr. Mark Haccke—a world leader in diagnostic imaging—be invited to present their most recent scientific evidence.

Request for Emergency Debate on MS and CCSVI
Monday May 10, 2010
Mr. Speaker, I rise to request an emergency debate on an urgent issue of national importance.
There are 55,000 to 75,000 Canadians who live with multiple sclerosis. Our country has one of the highest rates of the disease in the world. MS is a devastating, unpredictable disease, which affects balance, hearing, memory, mobility and vision. Its affects are physical, emotional, financial and last a lifetime. MS steals futures from families and there is no cure.
