 This morning, Health Canada authorized Canadian blood services to lift the current blood donation ban for men who have sex with men. Instead, all donors will be screened for high-risk sexual behavior regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. Our government welcomes this decision. It's been a long time coming. The current approach was discriminatory and wrong. This is a significant milestone in moving forward on both the safety of our blood supply but also nondiscriminatory practices. It is important that today, the approval of Health Canada to eliminate the general exclusion period for men who have sexual relations with other men is good news. The Canadian blood society will rather set an approach based on sexual behavior at risk for all donors, regardless of their gender or sexual orientation. In 2015, we got elected with a commitment to end this discriminatory practice. We turned to Canadian blood services in Emo-Québec, and we said, what is it that you need to end this practice? They said, we need more research, we need more studies, we need more science to make sure that we can continue to give Canadians full confidence in the safety of the blood supply. So over the past years, we funded over $5 million, a dozen different studies, to make sure that we could get to this day. It is frustrating that it took this long. Implementation should be done by the fall, hopefully. But this is good news for all Canadians. Our blood supply will continue to be safe, and we're doing away with a discriminatory blanket ban. It's une bonne nouvelle pour tous les Canadiens.
