HOUSE OF COMMONS OF CANADA |
BILL C-366 |
An Act to amend the Food and Drugs Act (substances in menstrual tampons) |
Whereas there is a lack of readily accessible information about the risks of substances contained in menstrual tampon products on human health;
Whereas the creation of labelling requirements for menstrual tampons on absorbency and toxic shock syndrome has led to increased awareness and positive health outcomes among Canadians;
And whereas Parliament wishes to strengthen labelling requirements for these products in order to increase transparency and better allow Canadians to make informed choices about menstrual products;
Now, therefore, His Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada, enacts as follows:
R.S., c. F-27
