An Act to establish a national framework respecting attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

Bill C-329 in 44-1 was a Liberal Private Member's Bill establishing a national framework respecting Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) for Canadian adults and children (precursor to 45-1 Bill C-229 on the same topic). ADHD affects an estimated 5 to 7 percent of Canadian children and 3 to 4 percent of adults per the Centre for ADHD Awareness Canada. The bill called for federal-provincial-territorial coordination on diagnosis access (currently waitlists exceed two years in most provinces), workplace accommodation under the Accessible Canada Act (S.C. 2019, c. 10), prescription-stimulant supply continuity (Canada experienced ADHD-medication shortages in 2023 affecting roughly 20 percent of prescriptions), and adult-diagnosis recognition for women and racialized adults. Did not pass third reading.
