Bill C-240: Recovery from Addiction is Possible

July 29, 2026

Everyone deserves a path forward.

Recovery is possible, and every Canadian deserves the opportunity to break the cycle of addiction and build a better future.

That’s the goal behind Bill C-240. This bill would give judges the ability to include rehabilitative measures as part of a sentence, helping address the root causes of addiction, mental health challenges, and repeat offending while maintaining accountability.

Kelly DeRidder MP Kitchener Centre joins me on the Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast to share her powerful personal journey, the inspiration behind her private members bill in the House of Commons, and why rehabilitation can help transform lives and make our communities safer.
