M-92 Ban on blood donations by homosexuals

That, pursuant to subsection 13(5) of the Blood Regulations Annex of Food and Drug Act, the House call on the government to: (a) live up to its 2015 and 2019 campaign promises and end the discriminatory and homophobic deferral period for men who have sex with men; (b) immediately exercise the powers given to the Minister of Health to “remove a term or condition from an authorization if she or he determines that the term or condition is no longer necessary to prevent a compromise to human safety or the safety of blood” in order to end the discriminatory and homophobic gay blood ban; and (c) support a gender-neutral screening process that examines the behaviour and risk of those donating blood, while preserving the safety of Canada’s blood supply.
