Todd Doherty MP (born 1968) 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]
Todd Doherty is married to Kelly and together they have four children.
Todd and Kelly have been small business owners for over 20 years. Todd previously was an aviation executive and worked with industry, provincial and federal governments in global promotion of national trade, tourism and aviation opportunities.
During the first sitting of the 42nd Parliament Todd Doherty tabled four private members bills:
In addition, Bill C-347 was authored by Todd 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 Mr Doherty, he gave permission for MP 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]
