Actually, we are going to support this amendment. As you mentioned, Mr. Chair, amendment NDP-9 is very similar to amendment LIB-13.
Some problems need to be pointed out, and some witnesses clearly did so.
I'll mention a few of them. One of the main problems we had with this bill was the lack of consultation. The fact that the Canadian Psychiatric Association, the Canadian Psychological Association, the Canadian Mental Health Association, the Mood Disorders Society of Canada, the Canadian Association of Social Workers, the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention, the National Network for Mental Health, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, the Schizophrenia Society of Canada, the Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health—all those major organizations work directly with mental illness and were not consulted when we were talking about a bill that directly deals with mental illness.
That's why we had a lot of issues with this bill in terms of lack of consultation, and that's why we are happy to see that the government has learned from the fact that it needs to have better consultation. The fact that we'll have that put in place is something we support, and we are really happy that the government is also supportive of it.
