Bill C-265 — Loi concernant l’élaboration d’une stratégie nationale sur la santé mentale périnatale

This proposed law, C-265, wants to create a national plan to help the mental health of people who are pregnant or have recently had a baby. This plan would look at the best ways to support these parents. It would focus on problems like depression after giving birth. The goal is to make sure everyone across Canada has access to the help they need during this important time. This proposed law would affect anyone who is pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or has recently had a baby. It would also affect their families and support networks. It would also impact healthcare workers who provide care to these families. This proposed law matters because having a baby is a big life change. It can be hard on a person's mental health. By creating a national plan, the government can make sure that new and expecting parents get the support they need. This can lead to healthier families and communities.
