Conservative on Silver Alert National Framework Act 2026-05-06

143 words · 9 sentences · 15 clauses

Replying to Michael Barrett (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my hon. colleague from Kildonan—St. Paul for her leadership on what truly could make a difference across this country and not just in her home community, where she has personally been acquainted with the realities of tragedies that can befall families and communities when seniors go missing and we do not have a way to alert the broader community. I think it is really critical that this contains the distribution of a system across our country for all communities so that regardless of where people live, the framework would exist. Whether they are in rural Ontario, Manitoba or the territories, they would benefit from this kind of system. Can the hon. member share with the House any jurisdictions where this has been implemented in an electronic format as proof of its success?”
