Todd Doherty MP (born 1968 or 1969) is a Canadian politician who was elected as a Member of Parliament in the House of Commons of Canada to represent the federal electoral district Cariboo—Prince George during the 2015 Canadian federal election.[2]

During the first sitting of the 42nd Parliament, Doherty tabled four private members bills:

  • Bill C-211: An Act to Establish a National Framework on PTSD and Mental Health Challenges with First Responders, Veterans and Military. Bill C-211 was passed unanimously June 16, 2017 and currently is in Senate for review.
  • Bill C-209: This enactment amends the Corrections and Conditional Release Act to require the Correctional Service of Canada, in certain circumstances to disclose details of statutory release of a high-profile offender. Making public disclosure of the details of the release and informing any victims of such release.
  • Bill C-207: This enactment designates the third day of March in each and every year as a day for the people of Canada to express appreciation for the heroic work of members of the Canadian Forces and emergency response professionals, including police officers, firefighters and paramedics
  • Bill C-208: This enactment amends the Canada Evidence Act to direct courts on how to interpret a written all-numeric date in Canada that is in dispute.

In addition, Bill C-347 was authored by Doherty and calls on the Federal Government to establish a national service medal for Search & Rescue volunteers. The largest national volunteer group that was without a national medal in recognition of service.

Although authored by Doherty, he gave permission for Mel Arnold to table C-347 due to C-211's progress through Parliament.

In October 2017, the Government of Canada announced the creation of a national service medal for Search & Rescue volunteers.

In November 2020, Doherty tabled a motion to create a single national three-digit telephone number, 988, for suicide hotlines, arguing that having to look up existing 10-digit numbers presents a barrier to use.[3] In December the House of Commons voted unanimously in favour of his proposal.[4]
