Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Currently training models are available in Canada. For example, the Mental Health Commission of Canada offers the mental health first aid course, and the applied suicide intervention skills training program--ASIST--is available to all Canadians. These programs have been provided to some populations within federal jurisdiction.
Enhancing certification and training guidelines for Canadians would entail additional resources and go beyond the scope of the bill. This amendment may require royal recommendation, as it has resource implications and is not feasible within existing resources.
