Thank you for the question.
That is $45 million that came out of last year's budget. The Standards Council does not set the standards. The Standards Council works with the people who know the most—the researchers, but also those with lived and living experience and community workers—to find out where there is a consensus that should and could be a national standard coast to coast to coast: the most appropriate care, in the most appropriate place, by the most appropriate provider in the most appropriate time.
What's exciting, at the moment, is that the integrated youth services seem to be a place where nine out of 10 provinces have begun that work of individualized wraparound services for young people up to age 26. That's an example of a national standard, an integrated youth service that would go to 26 wherever you live, so that young people wouldn't be left out.
I think there are some really good examples of national standards. It's a common statement that the provinces and territories came out with together in 2017. I'm very excited about the opportunities to do that. Perhaps perinatal mental health.... One of the things we're worrying about is wellness checks, as well as appropriate medically supervised withdrawal. There are things I've been hearing, and then I go to the CIHR and the Standards Council and say, “Do you think there's a possibility of developing a team that would work on those kinds of standards?”
