I'd like to change gears a little.
The wait times for mental health services in Cape Breton and mainland Nova Scotia—northeastern Nova Scotia to be exact—are around 300 to 424 days. That number grows each year, as mental health services become overburdened, while fewer doctors are available and even fewer services are offered.
Your mandate letter includes a commitment to standardize access across Canada for people to access these services, services that can take up to three years to access in communities in Nova Scotia. Again, this is something that is pressing on Cape Breton Island and in northeastern Nova Scotia. In the same vein as the first question, I'm just looking to get an update on where we are, particularly with mental health services, in relation to your mandate letter.
