As you know, increasing the Canada health transfer to almost $200 billion allows the provinces and territories to really focus on treatment and their delivery of health care.
Where the $25 billion will go in the bilateral agreements with provinces and territories means that everyone has an attachment to a primary care team with adequate mental health and substance use support.
On the HHR, and on having adequate health human resources without burnout, being able to maintain retention means there have to be appropriate mental health supports and substance use supports there to keep a robust health workforce.
On the third category, which is mental health and substance use, we're hoping all members of Parliament, the provinces and territories and the stakeholders working on the ground will develop the kinds of indicators needed to make sure that we will be measuring as we go and that there will be accountability and transparency beyond just wait times or unmet mental health needs from the Canadian health survey.
The last section will be on data and the ability to see in real time what's happening with the transfer of records and having citizens have access to their own records. This is particularly important in mental health, where mistakes can be made and where we don't want any more people's intimate mental health records being in offices with fax machines anymore. This has to be private.
It is, I think, a very exciting time for the transformation of health and health care that some of us have been fighting for 30 years, like doctor to interdisciplinary, hospital to community, and the patient at the centre of their care with the systems wrapped around them as opposed to people having to fit into a system that doesn't work for them. We will have accurate data and evidence to be able to do what works and stop doing what doesn't work.
