Mr. Chair, I can expand a bit on this issue.
This funding is to support an initiative by the Mental Health Commission of Canada.
One of the remits of the Mental Health Commission is to do a mental health strategy for the country. It is working away on that. One of the priorities that came through its consultations was from employers and others who said, “We are not doing a very good job as employers at managing mental health in the workplace. We could use some help and some tools here”.
The funding that is being transferred is in support of this Mental Health Commission initiative to develop a national standard of psychological health and safety in the workplace. This would be a guide to help employers and others deal with what we all acknowledge is a challenge in the workplace. Employers are probably better at dealing with situations when people have cancer or heart disease, than when there are mental health challenges. There's a real opportunity to furnish a tool and a guide that will be useful.
