I don't doubt that and I'm not questioning the deep integrity of people in the psychiatric profession, but we have a situation.... I deal in the real world. I don't deal in what should be; I deal with what I see. I represent the Far North, where we have a horrific suicide crisis in indigenous communities. We have an ongoing mental health crisis, in fact, to the point that states of emergency have been declared.
When I ask you if we are ready, I need to know that I can go back to Treaty 9 and say, yes, for a loved one who's severely depressed and wandering the streets, if they decide they're going to end their life, all the protections are in place to make sure this was done right. If those protections aren't right, it's our duty to tell the public we're not ready.
Can you tell me the protections are there?
