PRIVATE MEMBERS' PUBLIC BILLS FOR SECOND READING...

Bill No. 26 - Advisory Council on Mental Health Act.

MS. DIANA WHALEN: Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to rise tonight and speak about a bill that I introduced last week here in the Legislature. It is Bill No. 26 and the title of the bill is Advisory Council on Mental Health Act. As I say, this bill would be intended to see the Province of Nova Scotia create an advisory council that could help to create a strategy for mental health in this province and really map out a blueprint, or a path to go forward, and help the many Nova Scotians who are dealing with mental illness in our province.
