Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to sincerely thank all the witnesses for being here today and for the committed work they do in communities for all Canadians, but especially for young women and marginalized women. As they mentioned, it is very important.
Ms. Todd, I've had the opportunity twice before to hear you give evidence here. I have three daughters myself, and I want to thank you for the courage you've shown over the last 10 or 12 years. I thank you very much for providing solutions as well.
I had similar questions to my colleague, and you have already answered many of them. That said, I want to thank your organization, the Amanda Todd Legacy Society, for the work it does in raising awareness and fighting exploitation.
My question is for both Ms. Williams and Ms. Chimbganda.
Federal and provincial bilateral agreements are currently being negotiated. In 2017, a $5 billion, 10-year agreement was reached, and $600 million is being provided. However, we have heard clearly that in the past, some very specific needs have not been addressed with a view to the future.
My question is around the recommendations that you would have for the committee on negotiating bilateral agreements with the provinces. When we look at virtual care and eating disorders, previous witnesses have talked about shortages in psychiatry and at the first level. I want to get a sense from both of you of what specific recommendations you have for us in ensuring that we have those best practices in place when negotiating with the provinces to look at delivering the next step of services.
Dr. Williams, perhaps you can start.
