Canada ' s REAL National Autism Strategy - Shawn Murphy ' s Bill C-304

There is currently a group receiving money from the Harper government, purportedly to develop a " National Autism Strategy " . It is an election year handout from a government which has consistently opposed a meaningful role for the federal government in ensuring that autistic children and adults in Canada receive the treatment and services they need to live meaningful, healthy lives. Parents in Canada have fought for many years with varying levels of success for government coverage of evidence based ABA treatment for autism disorders. In 2006 former Charlottetown MP Shawn Murphy articulated a REAL National Autism Strategy when he introduced Bill C-304 which was defeated by a Harper Conservative-Bloc Quebecois coalition vote.  L: Former Charlottetown MP Shawn Murphy C: NB Senator Jim Munson R: Late Fredericton MP Andy Scott3 Strong Advocates for a National Autism StrategyFederal politiicans and subservient autism charities should stop pretending and stop yakking about a National Autism Strategy if they do not intend to adopt the REAL National Autism Strategy proposed in 2006 in Shawn Murhpy ' s Bill C-304:C-304First Session, Thirty-ninth Parliament,55 Elizabeth II, 2006HOUSE OF COMMONS OF CANADABILL C-304_____________________________________________FIRST READING, MAY 17, 2006_____________________________________________MR.
