Sen. Brazeau says his personal experience with alcohol is part of what is driving him

Sen. Patrick Brazeau is trying a second time to pass legislation that would add cancer warning labels to alcohol packaging.

The Senate is studying Bill S-202, a revival of legislation Brazeau introduced in the previous Parliament. The previous bill died on the order paper when the spring election was called.

Brazeau said his personal experience with alcohol is part of what is driving his push for change.

“It does ruin lives. It kills people. It’s certainly not good for mental health. And personally, you know, it led me down a very, very, very dark path, so dark that I just wanted to put an end to my life,” he said.

He said he has also spent a lot of time raising money for cancer research since losing his mother to the disease in 2004.
