Sharing of mental health information at US/Canadian border

Two motions were passed at the Canadian Medical Association meeting in August 2014 with respect to sharing of indiscriminate mental health information at US/Canadian border crossings:

- The Canadian Medical Association believes that indiscriminate sharing of mental health information between the United States and Canada threatens the principle of non-discriminatory border crossing.

- The Canadian Medical Association will work with appropriate stakeholders to establish guidelines for the sharing of mental health information between the United States and Canada.
