Bill C-211 Gets Senate Approval

PRINCE GEORGE – It’s a big day for Cariboo-Prince George MP Todd Doherty.

His Private Member’s Bill, Bill C-211, received the third reading from the Senate today and the expectation is that it will receive Royal Assent in days. 
 
The Bill calls for a national framework on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for a number of professionals, not just the military. 

“Today marks the culmination of years of hard work,” says Doherty. “I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the paramedics, first responders, firefighters, military, veterans, police and corrections officers who have courageously shared their stories with the country.”

But, he says the real work gets underway.
