Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines

That the committee report to the House that the decision by the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care should be immediately reversed and breast cancer screening should be extended to women in their 40s, as this will help save lives; that the Minister of Health urge the task force to go back to the drawing board and revisit the guidelines based on the latest science; and that the Public Health Agency of Canada table to this committee the parameters given to the task force to update breast cancer screening guidelines.

A copy of the relevant Minutes of Proceedings (Meeting No. 123) is tabled.

Respectfully submitted,

Sean Casey

Chair
