Madam Speaker, I want to point out to my esteemed colleague that this morning's motion states, “and that this study evaluate, review and examine any issues relevant to this situation, such as, but not limited to”. A list follows, and I have no objection to adding mental health to that list.
My colleague knows full well that mental health is overlooked in the health care system and has been for at least 25 years. This happened because health care systems are chronically underfunded.
Why does my esteemed Liberal colleague not convince the Prime Minister and the Minister of Health to increase health transfers, as Quebec and all the provinces are calling for?
