An Ontario MP whose daughter's death was blamed on a now-discontinued prescription medication is in Vancouver to fight for an independent drug safety agency.

Oakville, Ont. MP Terence Young's daughter died suddenly at the age of 15 in March 2000. He says it was an ordinary Saturday evening for his family that saw his daughter baking cookies while he and his wife returned from a shopping trip.

"I went into my study and she came downstairs to negotiate the evening's activities, as 15-year-olds do, and jumped up and fell down on the carpet, dead. Her heart had stopped and she never regained consciousness," Young recalled to CTV's Canada AM Monday.
