Thank you.
A reopening of the act and a clarification on the list of medically necessary services would go a long way to ensuring that the services that are now left out of the system are integrated. I mentioned counselling, psychotherapy, substance use health treatment—the services that we now rely on insurance or paying out of pocket for.
That is one avenue. An alternate avenue is to create a parallel Canada mental health transfer and an accompanying act that would create dedicated funding for those services that fall outside the system.
