Health issues swept under with toothless ‘motherhood’ bills: opposition

I have a new story up on iPolitics.ca today, which looks at the work of the Commons health committee the past few months, and the frustration that opposition MPs are feeling as the work they're trying to do is being subverted by a government they feel is committed to the status quo, and which blocks any attempts to challenge it. More than that, they feel trapped into supporting the toothless measures because they don't want to be seen as voting against measures for suicide prevention, breast cancer awareness, or the like. It was a great story to write, and nice to be able to sink my teeth into it with all of the research that went into it.
