Text
I will be very brief, Mr Deputy Speaker. I just want to place on record the fact that my party supports the legislative consent motion. Without research into rare cancers, no mitigating measures will be discovered. Who knows? The scientist working on that research might stumble upon interventions that could be helpful for more common cancers. Cancer cures will not fall into our lap; they will be found by scientific research, and we all have a duty to support and encourage that research. We must never lose sight of the fact that research offers hope to sufferers.
