✦ AI Summary
This bill proposes to change the Food and Drugs Act to require that menstrual tampons sold in Canada must list all the ingredients they contain on their packaging. Currently, there isn't always easy-to-find information about the potential health risks of substances in these products. By making this information mandatory, the bill aims to increase transparency and help Canadians make more informed decisions about the menstrual products they use.
