Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Minister, I thank you for appearing before the committee today. The evidence that we've heard as part of this study on mental health is terrifying.
Groups are seeking support, so that brings me back to the financial issue, because you talk a lot about amounts that the federal government wants to invest in mental health. However, I remind you that health is the jurisdiction of Quebec and the provinces.
Hearing you talk about money, I think that it would be much better invested in transfers, which the Government of Quebec believes should come with no strings attached, as it has said.
In your mandate letter, you talk about a national action plan and national standards. Quebec doesn't want that.
Above all, Minister, I wonder what expertise do you have that Quebec's health minister and health department don't have. After all, they manage hospitals, the health system and social service providers on a daily basis. What expertise do you have that we don't have in Quebec?
