In the late 1980's, Conservative, Liberal and NDP MP's worked with Health and Welfare to bring environmental sensitivities out from being eclipsed by clinical ecology and the MCS model, immunology and the allergy model, psychiatry and the PTSD/eating-disorder model, the pharmaceuticals are dangerous model, and so on.
In 1990, as Health and Welfare Canada began addressing attitudes about sensitivities in the federal realm, Dr. Bruce Halliday, MP, invited testimony before the Parliamentary human rights committee. The minutes are attached.
In 1988, MP's Margaret Mitchell, Alan Redway and Sheila Copps encouraged Chair Dr. Bruce Halliday to invite testimony before the Standing Committee on Health.
