Minister @jyduclos,

Registered counsellors, like Carmen, are urgently asking you to approve their section 56 exemptions so they may finish training and be best prepared to facilitate safe and effective #psilocybintherapy for patients.

Please respond.

Minister @jyduclos - HCP's have now waited over 300 days for their exemptions. Why are these healthcare professionals not equal to their peers whose exemptions were approved back in December 2020? Why are you blocking access to the tools these HCPs need for training?
