I really can't comment. I have no insight into why that decision was made in the federal system. I can say that there's nothing similar in the provincial system in P.E.I.
But I certainly concur with Dr. Marshall that effective treatment requires someone with extensive training. It also requires that there be money available to keep upgrading that training. As there is new research taking place, you need to keep up with that, particularly in terms of the trends toward what are considered best practices in treatment.
