First off, I want to thank our honourable colleague for sharing his personal story. The biggest thing around mental health is the stigma attached to mental health, whether it's a family member, a colleague, or the person who is suffering at the time, to be able to say that they're sick or to admit that a loved one is sick and struggling with mental health injuries.
Through you Mr. Chair, I just want to say thank you to our colleague.
Our bill is about getting our ministers around the table so that they can design and develop a national framework with respect to PTSD and mental health injuries. It was our intent that they could decide the scope and who would be involved in that. There's a lot of discussion that has gone on over the last year, lots of groups we have met with over the last year as well, after writing the legislative report and putting our bill forward.
What this bill will do today, if passed, is mandate those ministers mentioned to convene a meeting and to build that national framework. Who's involved in that and that scope is up to them.
