Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to table two petitions in the House this morning.
The first petition is signed by 66 people from the Calgary area who call on Parliament to amend the Canada Health Act to ensure intensive behavioural intervention therapy treatment, based on the principles of applied behavioural analysis, is designated as medically necessary for children with autism, and that academic chairs be established at universities in each province to teach this therapy, ensuring that Canadian professionals will no longer have to leave Canada to receive the training.
