Definition: The essential feature is recurrent obsessional thoughts or compulsive acts. Obsessional thoughts are ideas, images, or impulses that enter the patient's mind again and again in a stereotyped form. They are almost invariably distressing and the patient often tries, unsuccessfully, to resist them. They are, however, recognized as his or her own thoughts, even though they are involuntary and often repugnant. Compulsive acts or rituals are stereotyped behaviours that are repeated again and again. They are not inherently enjoyable, nor do they result in the completion of inherently useful tasks. Their function is to prevent some o ...[+++]bjectively unlikely event, often involving harm to or caused by the patient, which he or she fears might otherwise occur. Usually, this behaviour is recognized by the patient as pointless or ineffectual and repeated attempts are made to resist. Anxiety is almost invariably present. If compulsive acts are resisted the anxiety gets worse. | anankastic neurosis obsessive-compulsive neurosis

Food consumption, water consumption if available, food efficiency (body weight gain per gram of food consumed, except for the period of cohabitation and during lactation), and test chemical consumption (for dietary/drinking water administration) for P and F1 animals;

Unless limited by the physico-chemical nature or biological properties of the chemical, the highest dose level should be chosen with the aim to induce some maternal toxicity (e.g. clinical signs, decreased body weight gain (not more than 10 %) and/or evidence of dose-limiting toxicity in a target organ).

However, I am also very disappointed to have a debate that is predicated on one of the parties in the House, the New Democratic Party, playing politics with such an important issue.

I do not agree with the political points they are attempting to score here, but I believe that is the reason they are bringing the bill forward.
