Thank you for your comments and for your recognition there. That's a big question, by the way.
In my view, there's a symbolic aspect that indicates that mental health care, psychotherapy and counselling therapy are on par with other health care professions, such as seeing a physiotherapist, an acupuncturist or a podiatrist. It destigmatizes it for Canadians, in addition to the money they will save from the taxes they would have had to pay.
It has been found that the rate that psychotherapists and counselling therapists charge ranges between $120 and maybe $190, so a 10% to 13% savings each session could be a couple of hundred dollars a year for each Canadian. It could mean that the money goes towards something that's important to them in their lives. It could mean more sessions for them, if they need it.
This will have a big impact on the health care system.
