Leader of the Official Opposition Patrick Brown’s statement on Supporting Ontario’s First Responders Act


Leader of the Official Opposition Patrick Brown today issued the following statement on the government’s introduction of the Supporting Ontario’s First Responders Act:
“I have always said there’s no monopoly on a good idea. This proposed legislation will help provide faster access to resources and treatment for first responders who face the serious and debilitating challenges of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

I would like to thank NDP MPP Cheri DiNovo for her hard work and perseverance in pushing for better access and treatment on behalf of first responders suffering from PTSD. Through her introduction of Bill 2, MPP DiNovo played a significant role in increasing awareness and reducing the stigma that surrounds this very real disorder.
I am pleased that after asking the government 156 days ago to act on Bill 2, it has finally decided to introduce legislation that has the opportunity to adequately support first responders and their health. The Ontario PC Caucus looks forward to reviewing details of the Supporting Ontario’s First Responders Act.”
