The Ontario Progressive Conservative Caucus’ motion calling on the Liberal government to create a mental health and addictions strategy for Ontario was supported by all parties in the Legislature.
The PC Caucus motion called upon the McGuinty Liberal government to table a mental health and addictions plan that reflects the recommendations made by the Select Committee on Mental Health and Addictions within 60 days. Sylvia Jones, MPP (Dufferin-Caledon) was a member of the Select Committee on Mental Health and Addictions, an all-party committee which last August presented 23 recommendations to improve mental health and addictions services in Ontario.
