Hello friends,
Canadians have given the Liberals a majority government. Prime Minister-elect Justin Trudeau says he will name his ministers on Nov. 4 - now is the time to push to get our ally Dr. Carolyn Bennett appointed as Minister of Health. (Her web: https://carolynbennett.liberal.ca/)
If Dr. Bennett is appointed Minister of Health, she will have the power to influence fair me/cfs biomedical research funding. It is not a guarantee of funding, but Dr. Bennett would be our best bet for quick change.
(The CIHR, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, is under the purview of the Min of Health, but it is the CIHR that allocates research funds - they have allocated zero dollars so far this year for me/cfs research).
Dr. Bennett had me/cfs patients before entering politics, she knows it is a complex biological disease.
Dr. Bennett has advocated for the me/cfs community in the federal parliament as a Member of Parliament:

Dr. Bennett collaborated and supported an me/cfs Parliamentary Breakfast as an MP:

Action:
Anyone and everyone can email and/or tweet Prime Minister-elect Justin Trudeau (and copy Dr Bennett and public health journalist Andre Picard) with the simple message:
Appoint Dr. Carolyn Bennett as Minister of Health!
Do Canadian patients a favour and appoint Dr. Carolyn Bennett as Minister of Health.
Thank you!
