Helena Konanz, Member of Parliament for Similkameen—South Okanagan—West Kootenay, has been appointed to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health for the current parliamentary term.
The Standing Committee on Health examines matters related to Health Canada, including legislation and regulations. It also provides oversight of health-related agencies such as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the Public Health Agency of Canada.
“I’m honoured to be granted the opportunity to serve as a member of the Standing Committee on Health, which not all newly elected MPs get the chance to do,” said Konanz.
“I’m looking forward to working with my fellow committee members to improve access to health care, while also addressing the ongoing addiction and mental health crisis, and the increasing unaffordability of healthy groceries.”
The committee is scheduled to begin its meetings in September when the House of Commons resumes sitting.
