Next meeting of the Canadian Parliamentary Sub Committee on Neurological Health will be on June 1st.

Testifying will be Dr. Sandy McDonald, Mark Haacke, Steven Garvie (Liberated Canadian MS Patient), and someone called Lianne Webb.

Looing forward to reading the minutes!!

I understand that Dr. Kirsty Duncan (MP and opposition Health Critic) continues to push the government for the answers to some pretty urgent questions about when Canadians can expect to get screening and treatment for CCSVI in our own country under our own pulbicly funded medical system.

Is this around the 45 day limit mark where the government has to provide answers to Dr. Duncan's earlier questions?

I quote Dr. McDonald in all my letter-writing pleas to government, College, Society of Phlebology, etc. I look forward to more of his eloquence. I wish we could get more people in the vascular field involved in advocating on our behalf and explaining why it's needed to fix our veins because BLOCKED VEINS IS BAD REGARDLESS OF DETERMINING WHAT THEIR EFFECT ON OUR MS IS.
