Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for being with us today.
I'm speaking from unceded Wolastoqiyik territory here in Oromocto, New Brunswick.
Minister, I want to thank you again for your remarks and your willingness to acknowledge that things have not been perfect up to this point. You're really committed to righting some of the wrongs. It's very refreshing to hear that humility.
You and I both share a passion for mental health and mental wellness. It is Mental Health Week here in Canada, so I'll pick up on a couple of great questions that Mr. Vidal asked. You mentioned traditional counsellors, and it makes me think about the community of Attawapiskat, in particular, when they lost many youth simultaneously. They asked for things like culturally appropriate mental health supports and indigenous-led programming.
Could you talk a bit more about how our government is investing in cultural healers for mental health, and how that has been expanded in the last little while? Thanks so much.
