Thank you for your question.
From our perspective, we would definitely put dollars into mental health and addiction support services at the street level. In Calgary, we've seen an increase in opioid ODs. Our team responds regularly, along with other members from collaborating partners, and it is very sad, with the health system being stressed as far as the response is concerned, the CPS response, and things like that.
Especially coming out of COVID and being socially isolated from everybody, we would definitely support and advocate for greater mental health and addiction supports in order to stabilize individuals and get them into safe places, get them into housing and continue to support them. Continuing care is a huge thing, as well as transitional supports. That's what we would advocate for and would like to see more of in all communities, not just urban but rural as well.
Thank you.
