That's helpful. Thank you.
I would like to move to our friends from the Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres.
I have a wonderful friendship centre in my community, the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto, that does a wide range of inspiring work, so I was really glad to see the announcement of stable and sustained funding that allows it and other friendship centres to plan for the future and properly compensate their staff. I agree with you that it was a really important announcement and commitment by this government.
There's, of course, always more work to be done. You speak in your submission about the importance of indigenous-led mental health and addiction services, particularly in urban communities. While these are resilient communities that have a lot of strengths, I know there are some very significant challenges around mental health and addiction in my own city, in Toronto.
What has been your experience of what works across the many friendship centres that you represent? Given that we live in an interjurisdictional world—that is the case for everyone at this table, for indigenous and non-indigenous people, particularly when it comes to health care services, many of which reside in provincial jurisdiction—what have you seen that works regarding partnerships between federal and provincial governments? What has been your experience with Ontario government policy vis-à-vis addiction services and mental health services? How has that affected indigenous people?
