Thank you Senator Daniele Henkel for being a champion for women's health.  

Women's Health in Canada the Future is NOW!
The Framework for Women’s Health is enabling legislation that will ensure development of a women’s health strategy, provide an anchor for aligned advocacy priorities, enable provincial health delivery, and establish a federal commitment to drive budget and policy decisions that support women. Bill S-243 will advance women’s health, strengthen research, and reinforce transformation of primary care and preventative health. A women’s health strategy will support innovation, integrate private and public health systems, and enable entrepreneurship for health-focused women led businesses.
