Comment: It seems to me that certain senior Liberals are more concerned about pandering to the wishes of insurance industry lobbyists on Bill S-201 than they are about protecting the interests of Canadians and the Charter rights of individuals. The US, UK, all other G7 countries and UNESCO already prohibit genetic discrimination. No insurance companies have gone bankrupt as a result. 

Approximately 91% of Canadians polled feel that insurance companies should not be allowed access to their genetic information for an insurance assessment. Further, 90% of Canadians opposed the notion that employers should have access to the genetic information of workers or job applicants.

We all know that corporations control our MPs through their 'political donations', but it's a little much to have the Prime Minister so cravenly demonstrating where his allegiance lies. Can he not do the right thing for a change? Protect our individual privacy and honour Liberal campaign promises!
