Thank you, Madam Chair.
I have some questions for the witnesses. Once again, your testimony today confirms that some cases are extremely sensitive and that it is obviously not easy to go and get help for many reasons. You personally have to overcome the first hurdle, which is to recognize that you have mental health issues.
Ms. Jackson‑Brown, I would like to go back to what you said just before the end of my last question time. You spoke of health transfer payments. We can't possibly hope to provide better mental healthcare without getting more funding and more support for the system. Organizations are saying the same thing. In my riding, organizations receive funding from the Ministry of Health and Social Services. The ministry has direct links with the organizations that provide mental health services or help women who are victims of violence.
On a more practical note, can you please tell us more about the importance of health transfer payments. I would like to hear you speak about what the impact would be if our healthcare system had more funding. Whether the funding would be used for physical or mental healthcare, workers on the frontline or our institutions, our organizations need money to be able to respond to the increase in cases that you have spoken about today.
