Mr. Speaker, I have a petition I wish to present on behalf of a very good friend and a wonderful person named Laurel Gibbons.
The petitioners ask Parliament to amend the Canada Health Act and corresponding regulations to include IBI and ABA therapy for children with autism as a medically necessary treatment and to require that all provinces provide funding for this essential treatment for autism.
