My sincere thanks to the witnesses for being here and for testifying today. I've noticed a recurring theme here on the importance of working upstream on the social determinants of life, particularly on what causes a woman to experience mental health problems. This is very interesting.
Ms. Boucher, you just mentioned psychotropics, but you also raised the issue of social determinants. You also described the Quebec model of autonomous community organizations.
The situation is urgent. We know that the health system and community organizations don't lack for projects or initiatives regarding access to mental health services. Yours is a good example of that.
However, one of the major problems is the glaring lack of funding. Organizations want stable and recurring funding from the government. To meet that demand, the Quebec government must necessarily increase the budget it has set aside for the health system. Your organization's funding depends on that as well.
So don't you think the federal government should make its contribution and adequately fund the provinces and territories by transferring the missing amounts to them unconditionally?
