On World Mental Health Day, Member of Parliament, Gord Johns (NDP, Courtenay-Alberni) rose in the House of Commons and tabled Bill C-414 An Act to Amend the Canada Health Act (mental, addictions and substance use health services). If passed, the Bill will provide the people of Canada access to a wider array of publicly-funded services for mental health and substance use health in their communities. Both the CPA and the Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health (CAMIMH) issued news releases in support of this historic piece of legislation. Mr. Johns’ news conference, with the CAMIMH Co-Chairs can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V848d-Yvgt8.
