A Kitchener M-P-P was in Sudbury today looking for support for people who have rare diseases.

Michael Harris says the government needs to increase funding for these people who often have bills in the hundreds of thousand of dollars because many treatments are not covered

He has introduced a motion which comes up for debate at Queens Park on February 25th.

Harris says a Select Committee could hear from experts and sufferers and create recommendations for better treatment and funding.

Harris says it’s an issue that crosses all party lines and he’s hopeful M-P-P’s hear the stories and sign on to support his motion.
