The Wellness Together portal was a once-in-a-generation or once-in-a-century investment whereby the federal government partnered in the unique situation and the demands and needs of Canadians for their mental health during the pandemic. It was never meant or intended to be an ongoing program.
That doesn't mean the need is not there, which is why, in the bilateral agreements, we ensured that mental health services were a key pillar in the provision of those agreements. Health care belongs in the jurisdiction of the provinces, and that is why we worked very carefully with them before shutting down the Wellness Together portal.
