Mr. Speaker, the second petition I have the honour of presenting in this House today is by my constituent Leigh Raithby. She draws attention to the plight of tuberculosis, the fact that tuberculosis disproportionately affects indigenous communities in Canada and the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated a TB crisis. In this petition she calls on a national working group to work on a national TB elimination strategy that will help eradicate TB, particularly its disproportionate impacts on indigenous people in this country.
