Thank you, Chair.
I'm so pleased to be here today. I'm not normally part of this committee, but what we're speaking about is very near and dear to my heart. In my riding of St. John's East, there is tremendous work happening. It's not, clearly, where we need to be, but this is something that I'm very aware of and certainly continue to worry about as a mother and a nurse, and now in this role as a politician.
Dr. Vigod, I will go to you, but this really could be asked of anyone in the room. Could you go back to stepped care and drill down just a little bit more? In the back-and-forth, I still feel there is not a real understanding of what stepped care is, and the role of multidisciplinary primary health care in enabling someone to begin the supportive treatments without having to see a family physician.
Could you break it down for me, please, in a simple, tangible way?
