I appreciate that question.
One of the biggest things is putting mental health as part of the lens through which we look at things, especially policy creation. Last year, avian influenza was such a big thing across Canada. There are no turkey populations in B.C. anymore. I had some great conversations with some government officials about whether, when the CFIA officer shows up, they are coming with mental health support so they can help connect producers to that, instead of just, “Here's a list of what you need to do.”
The fact that I'm here today to answer your questions and testify is a really great first step in making sure we're including mental health in the thought process.
