With early diagnosis proven to unlock better outcomes — from mental health to justice system involvement — the bill aims to end the gaps that leave families struggling. Backed by former Senator Daniel Christmas, whose daughter’s diagnosis changed everything, and experts like Audrey McFarlane, this isn’t just another proposal — it’s a lifeline for thousands. Though Senate review is delayed, the plan calls for a 18-month rollout led by Health Canada, with a five-year review, turning research into real-world support across the country.
