We support investments that have been made to support mental health in the past, and investments that have been made to support what's happening now in the pandemic and what's been happening since March.
Our need today is to emphasize—regardless of what's been done in the past—what's happening now, and to be very acutely aware of what's happening with our health care providers, as well as our vulnerable communities and Canadians across the country, in general. We need to look at ways, collectively and collaboratively, to improve the delivery of service, access to service, and the number of professionals providing that service.
First of all, we need to look to now, in part to control what's going to happen from the mental health perspective, but also, let's not forget, to control the transmission of the virus right now, and what the needs will be in the short term and the long term as a result of this.
