In terms of basic health services, I think it's important not to make choices as such. Basic health services should be provided to indigenous people as they are to all Canadian citizens. Access to health services is important, whether it is access to mental health services, primary care or hospitals. We do not consider the priorities related to these services in comparison to each other. We see them as basic services to which a citizen is entitled and to which they will have effective and easy access.
