E-petition
Initiated by Melissa Scrivener from Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
Whereas:
- "The Canadian healthcare system continues to critically under perform for individuals with mental illness" (Mood Disorders Society of Canada, 2015); and
- Many communities across the nation and in particular remote northern and indigenous communities suffer from limited access to appropriate mental health services.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to Implement federal funding to improve delivery and access to mental health services across Canada's provinces and territories. Additionally we respectfully request the Government of Canada to place further pressure upon, and guidance to, provincial and territorial governments and respective health Ministries to improve funding and delivery structure of mental health services particularly in remote and rural communities where services are limited or non-existent.
