As a government, we recognize the challenges associated with mental health. A few years ago, in 2016, we started by investing $5 billion in the healthcare system so that provinces could tackle the issue of mental health and offer better support to people who are suffering. We are continuing to work on this.
The agreement with the provinces, which was discussed this morning, and the bilateral agreements that will follow will allow us to tackle certain issues and challenges, and one of the challenges is precisely mental health.
We hope that by providing the healthcare system with more resources and by working with the provinces and territories, we will be able to set up a quality framework for people suffering from mental disorders in order to improve their health. That is what Canadians are asking us to do, and they are asking us to work together.
This is a priority for our government. We are putting together the measures that were announced.
