Silver Alert National Framework Act

A bill to set up a national 'silver alert' system to help find missing vulnerable seniors, especially those with dementia. The MP behind the bill, a Conservative, spoke mostly to the bill itself and how it could help, comparing it both to existing alerts in some provinces and to the more extensive U.S. system. She expressed openness to amendments. Other members from all the main parties were quick to congratulate her and each other just for introducing the bill and talking about it -- they used over half their speaking time for mutual appreciation and other unrelated topics they found meaningful.
