P-TAN’s collective membership has requested that we publish your responses on our online platforms for constituents. On behalf of the Canadian Autistic community, we ask: will your government commit to investing in the necessary development of a National Autism Strategy, and provide a concrete timeline to have this strategy implemented by 2023?īefore August 31st, we respectfully request a response on how the above question will be addressed if your Party wins a mandate in the upcoming federal election. Currently, every province and territory is struggling to meet the growing needs of their autism community across the lifespan, and the issues are growing every day. While we are aware the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences is leading assessments to inform the federal government on the creation of this national strategy, the autism community is weary of being studied and needs concrete action to improve their quality of life. However, P-TAN and our greater autism community are now concerned with the lack of movement for the development of this strategy. This announcement brought renewed hope to Autistic Canadians and their families as they anticipated decisive federal action to address the critical gaps in autism supports and services across the country. In December 2019, the federal government announced its endorsement for the development of Canada’s first ever National Autism Strategy. On behalf of our vast Canadian autism community, we are reaching out to all major federal parties to seek clarity on their commitment to improving the quality of life of Autistic Canadians and their families through the implementation of a National Autism Strategy. Together, P-TAN represents more than half a million Autistic Canadians plus their families across the country. The Provincial-Territorial Autism Network (P-TAN) is a united group of autism organizations.
In advance of the upcoming federal election, Autism Ontario has joined with our fellow provincial and territory autism organizations and crafted a letter that was sent this week to the federal party leaders: Provincial-Territorial Autism Network Federal Election Letter
