Talk to Dr. Kirsty Duncan, Liberal MP from Etobicoke.

Michael Ignatieff has said that he would support testing and trials of CCSVI treatment in Canada if elected - it was in a Liberal Party document released in the summer.

My understanding is he is all for clinical trials-I will be voting Liberal for first time.

I understand that in an interview with the Globe and Mail on 17 December 2010, Dr. Ignatieff stated that a Liberal government would launch clinical trials that include testing and treatment.

perhaps it is possible with an impending election this year that the Conservative party might "see the light".....they would like to have an extra 75,000 votes...

Yes, certainly hope this becomes an issue in the election coming up...
for all of us, who have been tested & waiting for treatment, as for the many who have not been able to get this still specialized test.

We should all be able to get this done in our country, without the cost
& difficulty involved with travel. Follow-up care can be important.

For one who has been tested with confirmed CCSVI, over a year go
the waiting just seems to get harder. I hope & pray that this becomes an
issue, it should be.

Tell all your family, friends, caregivers etc. to vote Liberal. That's 70,000 times (?) votes. We can and we will have a better government than the George Bush wannabe Stephen Harper.
