Thank you.
As you know, we have had some very good discussions with all the provinces and territories, including Quebec. I know that Minister Barrette said very clearly that mental health and home care are among our shared priorities. I have seen several good examples of that, including a palliative care facility in Montreal. That is a great example of the good work being done in Quebec.
During the discussions, it was clear that the elements you mentioned were priorities for Minister Barrette and his government. We discussed how they could increase services. They have some very good ideas on mental health services for young people.
Maybe I'll just continue in English for the sake of time.
Minister Barrette has identified some excellent programs that they're very interested in for youth. They have, in fact, looked to international communities. I don't want to presuppose what their plans will look like, but just to give you a bit of an idea of the things that they are looking at there. We know that when we get care to young people, it can have a lifelong impact on them. We know that young people are not often identified as having mental illness early enough and don't have access to care. I know that Minister Barrette and his government are looking at expanding programs for young people to get access to cognitive behavioural therapy and using some of the very best world-class models in that regard.
They will make decisions on the basis of how the funding that we gave to them is spent. However, I know that you can assure your constituents that they should see improved access to mental health care as well as home care in the years to come as a result of our investments.
