I'm Carl Desmarais from the Canada Border Services Agency. I'm the director general responsible for the inland enforcement directorate. Thank you for the question.
With respect to mental health, it is definitely a vulnerability factor that the CBSA considers when it makes an initial decision to detain an individual. That remains and is not being changed by this particular bill.
I also will note that through the interim federal health program, the CBSA also receives funding specifically dedicated to providing health services to immigration detainees. These services range from psychologists and psychiatry...and we have a 24-7 nurse who is available to provide care as well.
All immigration detainees are being run through an intake process whereby their mental health is examined by specialists. That continues. It is a practice that would be carried over should the legislative provisions that are currently contained within this particular bill be enacted. Those same types of services would continue to be provided.
