Mental health & addiction

Clarion tracks Mental health & addiction across Canada's legislative record — the bills tagged to it, the House and legislature debates that mention it, the government media around it, and the lobbying filed on it. Every number is a deterministic count cited to the official record, refreshed each morning. A policy grouping, never a position.

What's counted

This topic has no matching lobbying registrations in the registries Clarion ingests, so its activity reflects bills, debates, and government media only — never an inferred lobbying figure.

Every count is a deterministic tally of real records matching curated anchors — a way to group activity by policy area, not a measure of support, opposition, or outcome. Bills are grouped by subject, never by stance.

Most recent tracked activity: 2026-06-30.
