Madam Chair, we cannot move to that step until we have these other elements in place. We in Canada have huge gaps in mental health support, so people cannot afford to get the help they need. We do not have the treatment and recovery infrastructure we need. We have not done the innovative things, like training family physicians, who are actually better positioned to help treat people because they have a relationship with their patients. There are a lot of steps I would like to see us take in that direction.
