#Budget2024 provided money for youth-focused programming — but how did the government identify needs? Senator Moodie argues Canada needs a National Strategy for Children and Youth: ow.ly/Jg9n50RAr9h

#S282 #SenCA

It's time we recognize children’s health and well-being as a national priority.

The status quo is not good enough. Our patchwork approach to tackling their complex health & social needs failing kids, their healthcare providers, and their families.

We can, and must, do better.

Thank you to Mark Holland, Ya'ara Saks יערה זקס, Adam van Koeverden Senator Moodie Karen Vecchio Mike Morris for coming out to meet with child healthcare leaders tonight and talk about how to improve health outcomes for kids.
We have the solutions, and together

Happy #NationalPhysiciansDay to all the exceptional physicians across the country, both those I work with in the Senate and those serving communities across 🇨🇦.

You're right, Senator Moodie. Band-aid solutions won't cut it for children in Canada.

Canada needs a national children's strategy to set clear goals, monitor progress and evaluate outcomes. Without a plan, we will fail to achieve change. #WeCANforKids

I was pleased to join members of the Canada-CARICOM Friendship Group and the Heads of Mission from Caribbean countries for a breakfast discussion this morning. 

The 🇨🇦-CARICOM relationship is an important one, and I look forward to our continued collaboration.

Yesterday, I rose in the Senate to speak in support of Bill C-252.

Our early habits often become our lifetime habits.

Banning advertising unhealthy foods to kids will protect their health & well-being not just now, but long-term.
