Thanks, Chair.
Thank you, minister, for joining us.
I want to ask you about the centre of excellence on PTSD and mental health. Perhaps you and/or the deputy can help me out here.
In 2018 the government announced $17.5 million for the centre of excellence on PTSD and mental health. I see that the centre is asking for $6.3 million under the appropriations we are considering today.
Could you update the committee on the work that is being done at the centre and speak to whether you feel that the investments being put towards the centre are achieving their goal? Are they serving veterans living with PTSD and mental health challenges?
