Heading up the new caucus, which is dedicated to fighting the deadly but entirely preventable disease, is Liberal Senator Mobina Jaffer.
Wednesday, Commons Speaker Peter Milliken hosted a reception on the Hill for Buy-a-Net, an anti-malaria NGO based in his riding of Kingston. Buy-a-Net founder Debra Lefebvre said her group has protected more than 150,000 people from malaria, mostly in Uganda. Present, and extending his deep appreciation to those purchasing the $6 nets, was Ugandan High Commissioner George Marino Abola.
