Thank you, Mr. Joint Chair.
Thank you, Dr. Gupta, for being here.
I have a couple of things. Just to paraphrase, I heard you say that patients need to be assured of appropriate treatment and social supports. Certainly we know that we're at a time in Canada when there's a realistic inability to access.... We've heard that from multiple witnesses and certainly I've been a family physician for 26 years, so I've heard that over and over.
How would you characterize in your mind the access to treatment and appropriate social supports for mental disorders in Canada at the current time?
