Health committee  What I would probably want to say very quickly about the #308 is that we were really moved by the information that was provided from each of the communities. We got letters. We got stacks of information. As Louise said in her opening remarks, and as we've spoken about here as we

Health committee  Yes, I do. Thank you for the question. I want to thank you and to acknowledge your leadership on this issue. We are closing in on around 60 members of Parliament. We have extended it to continue into the end of the spring session, with some very promising mention of some membe

Health committee  We have an interim report on #308conversations coming up. As well, we're sharing the video vignettes. Another significant opportunity to profile the leadership that Canada and our members of Parliament are showing on this issue is that we've just signed an agreement with the Worl

Health committee  As Ms. Bradley has shared, the commission is very interested in implementing the model that's been used in 55 European cities. That model has five components. One of the core components is this notion of public awareness. We've been working very closely with the Public Health Age

Finance committee  Yes. As I said in my opening statement, for $10 spent, it's $20 saved. For somebody who's worked for many years in a hospital setting, cost avoidance means as much, sometimes, as cost savings, because it means that money can be reinvested into other more innovative solutions that

Finance committee  Absolutely.

Finance committee  It wasn't. It's not currently a concern, because what we're actually seeing are some really creative ways to think about housing going forward. One of the most interesting partnerships that I think emerged out of At Home/Chez Soi was the partnerships with landlords. I came fr

Jennifer Vornbrock

Finance committee  Yes. Thank you for the question. The reason we're here now is twofold. One is to signal to the government and to all parties that we have completed the mandate we were asked to do, on time—and actually ahead of time—and on budget. But for the mental health strategy for Canada,

Finance committee  The critical part of going forward for the commission as part of the new mandate is the mental health action plan. That's a document on which we intend to have—and have already started—broad consultation with provinces, territories, and national stakeholders. As I said in my stat

October 7th, 2014Committee meeting

Jennifer Vornbrock

Finance committee  Thank you for that. Very quickly, the five cities that were part of the At Home/Chez Soi initiative did exactly find those key findings, which led to essentially 18 more communities implementing a housing-first approach. The Mental Health Commission, with resources that we alrea

Finance committee  I thank you for that question, because I think it's a critically important one. In regard to the way in which the Mental Health Commission and others have approached the conversation about suicide, I would quote Harold Albrecht. I think he has stated that the approach of not ta

Finance committee  Thank you for the question, Mr. Brison. I would probably say that the work the commission has been doing and actually started by Mr. Kirby carries on in a similar way. What the commission is particularly proud of is the degree and the extent to which we have secured a number of

Finance committee  For many years we've had very active partnerships both with the Department of National Defence and with Veterans Affairs, in particular around operational readiness in dealing with those men and women who are serving abroad. There is some fantastic programming called the “Road
