I think that in this day and age every penny counts with the increasing cost of food and all that. I think that 15%, which it is in my province of Quebec as well, will make a difference. I have clients phoning all the time asking for that.
It's one piece of a larger picture that still needs to be looked at in terms of accessibility to mental health care for all Canadians on an equal basis. Fifteen per cent is a lot for some.
I would suggest that it's an important piece that would allow, at least perhaps, those who can't afford 15%.... It means less to you perhaps than to the clients I work with. I work with victims of violence. I also work with indigenous folks. I work for the federal NIHB program for indigenous and Inuit folks. That makes a huge difference to them.
I think it's one piece—an easy ask—that would allow those who can't afford it more access.
Thank you.
